Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo will address a panel on industrial hemp in New York state on Saturday at Cooper Union, New York City.
Lupardo authored the 2014 assembly bill that created the state's industrial hemp research pilot program. She will discuss the legislation and the future of the potentially lucrative crop. Other panelists will discuss hemp's use for cannabidiol, the hemp industry in Colorado and the existing farming program in Kentucky.
New York's Department of Agriculture and Markets published final regulations governing experimental industrial hemp last month. Federal law was changed in 2014 allowing states to permit hemp research, and New York lawmakers passed the legislation last year.
Hemp is grown for its fibers, which are made into textiles and building materials, and its seeds, which are made into food, fuel oils and meal. For more information on the panel, visit hempnycity.com.
