In particular, this webinar examined hemp industry activities that were helpful for regulators, how the regulatory process evolved from start to finish, and lessons learned, i.e., what could probably have been done better after the 2018 Farm Bill was enacted. The webinar will also touch on the communication processes involved – both at the federal and industry level.
