Regenerative agriculture helps Western Slope farmers cope with the warmest winter on record

On a clear June morning in Missouri Heights, Felix Tornare gazes out over his 87-acre cattle ranch. From a distance, it looks like a regular grass field, but there are several other vegetables growing among the tall green blades. “We plant cover crops… like radishes, turnips, peas,” Tornare explained over the sound of birds chirping.

What started as a niche agricultural crop has grown into an expanding network of businesses serving entirely different markets. While they all begin with the same plant, that's often where the similarities end. A…

Ireland confronts hemp bottlenecks as Parliament weighs reforms to restart industry

Ireland’s industrial hemp sector remains largely dormant, with only about 11 hectares registered for cultivation this year, as Parliament examines regulatory and commercial barriers that have kept the crop from developing into a meaningful business sector.

Hemp And Marijuana Businesses Should Unite Around A New Regulatory Framework That Protects Consumers And Supports Farmers

Few industries have watched the rise of hemp-derived intoxicating products with more frustration than regulated cannabis. Yet one of the more interesting realities of this debate is that many cannabis operators have quietly entered the hemp market themselves. While publicly advocating for stricter restrictions on hemp-derived products, many have simultaneously launched hemp beverage brands, cannabinoid product lines or other investments…

Wasted Waste: the Czech design project turning textile waste into a systemic question

Since 2024, students at Prague’s Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design (UMPRUM) have been traveling to a textile sorting facility on the Czech-Polish border to confront something the fashion industry rarely shows: what happens after the garment leaves.

Guest article: The wizard, the prophet, and the case for regenerative agriculture

On June 25, President Trump signed an executive order aiming to advance regenerative agriculture and strengthen American farm resilience, placing it at the heart of the Make America Healthy Again agenda.

Foley hemp store defeats state in lawsuit after forced forfeiture of products, cash

A Foley hemp store emerged victorious in court last month after the state seized nearly $75,000 in cash and hemp products from Medicinal Bay CBD alleging that it engaged in illegal drug activity.
