BIORESOURCE HEMP 1995

From March 2nd to 5th, hemp researchers and merchants from over twenty countries met in Frankfurt, Germany, to participate in the world's largest ever hemp symposium and trade show.
Bioresource Hemp 1995 was a scientific and technical symposium organized by the nova-Institute. The symposium was held in conjunction with the Bioresource Hemp Exposition and Trade Show, organized by Frank Zander of Tritec, as part of Biofach 95, a world-wide exhibition of ecological products which attracted over sixteen thousand visitors.
Bioresource Hemp provided a first hand account of the rapid growth of hemp research and new technologies world-wide, but also highlighted the lack of domestic cultivation in several countries, and a current shortage of the investment capital necessary for accelerated hemp use.
The following is a look at some of the material presented by the different countries that participated in the Bioresource Hemp expo. This article was adapted by Dana Larsen from the papers and materials presented at Bioresource Hemp, as well as the symposium overview written by Gero Leson of the nova-Institute, which is in the current issue of the Journal of the International Hemp Association.
