In this episode of the Lancaster Farming Hemp Podcast, we welcome back Morris Beegle, the founder of NoCo Hemp Expo and a leading advocate in the hemp industry.
The conversation spans the globe as Morris shares insights from his recent travels to Africa, Asia, and South America, discussing the growing industrial hemp movement worldwide.
From the first-ever Kenya Hemp Conference to a 12-story hempcrete hotel in South Africa, Morris provides a firsthand look at the developing hemp sector in Africa.
The 11th annual NoCo Hemp Expo is in Estes Park, Colorado, this April. Morris gives us a preview of what to expect, from expert panels to industry networking opportunities. Plus, we touch on U.S. policy, market access programs, and the challenges facing the industrial hemp sector.
