Olivier Pittet of the Swiss Federal Institute for Agroscience & Technology reported that Switzerland permits hemp cultivation with certain restrictions. In a four year experimental program, the federal agricultural administration is subsidizing the cultivation of renewable crops like kenaf, cereals, and hemp.

In other Swiss projects, hemp has been used for the production of building materials, and of oil.
