After more than seventy years of hemp prohibition, rebuilding knowledge and qualifications in the hemp sector has become a central challenge for modern vocational education. While hemp was a major economic resource until the 19th century, legal restrictions introduced in 1929 led to a complete loss of practical know-how and occupational structures.<\/p>\n

Since the reauthorization of industrial hemp cultivation in 1996, systematic education and recognized qualifications have been largely absent. The Linnaeus Competence Center for Hemp therefore develops new vocational education and training approaches that bridge tradition and innovation.<\/p>\n

Its practice-oriented programs are grounded in scientific research and support the sustainable transformation of agriculture, industry, and crafts.<\/p>\n
