On March 6th, my colleague Patkos and I attended a meeting of the Young Farmers’ Club in Banská Bystrica—organized by the National Rural Development Network of the Slovak Republic and the Association of Young Farmers in Slovakia (ASYF). Amidst a wealth of technical information, discussions, and practical insights shared by young people active in agriculture, we presented the added value of industrial hemp regarding crop rotation, production diversification, and short value chains; this sparked numerous questions from the audience, which we were happy to answer.
