How can we get the most out of the cannabis plant?

On the latest episode of The Cannabis Conversation, we speak with Dr Gavin George, CEO of Puregene AG - a Swiss company specialising in genomics and predictive plant breeding.

We explore the potential of cannabis to produce hundreds of different products, including the challenges that come with it. We also explore the process of plant breeding, how much scope the cannabis plant has to evolve, and some of the new technologies needed to maximise this potential.

The Cannabis Conversation is sponsored by Lumino - a boutique HR and Recruitment Agency specialising in building high performance teams for the European Cannabis Industry. They work in three main verticals: Commercial, Medical and Plant Facing.
