The Icelandic Hemp Association is set to host Hemp for the Future 2025, an international conference at Reykjavík’s historic Iðnó venue, gathering over 200 global leaders, innovators, and experts to explore the future of industrial hemp and medical cannabis. This event underscores the growing global interest in sustainable agriculture and plant-based innovations, offering a platform for knowledge exchange and policy discussions aimed at fostering sustainable economic growth.
Þórunn Jónsdóttir, Conference Coordinator for the Icelandic Hemp Association, emphasizes the conference's broader mission: regenerating ecosystems, empowering communities, and paving the way for a healthier, more sustainable future. The conference will feature Jamie Pearson, Founder of the New Holland Group, as the keynote speaker, alongside over 15 international experts from various sectors of the cannabis and hemp industries.
Key themes of the conference include sustainable farming and product development in industrial hemp, clinical research and wellness applications of medical cannabis, and discussions on global legalization trends and policy innovation. Pre-conference workshops will also be offered, focusing on women's roles in the cannabis industry and practical sessions on cultivation and agribusiness opportunities.
