E260 - Current & Critical - Darren Bondar, The Future of Hemp in Alberta and Beyond
“Alberta is really ahead of the curve [but] there’s just so much opportunity that seems to be locked in these research facilities. They are trying to figure out how to unlock it and see how it can be brought to commercialization.”
As the hemp industry continues to grow, Darren and his team are poised to make a big impact with their newly acquired company, HempAlta. Based in Alberta, they started by focusing on 5 main areas of product development. With our convenient location for exports and rich resources, Alberta is the perfect place to continue innovating and disrupting this historic industry. For Darren, sustainability, innovation and geographic accessibility are key factors that give Alberta a competitive advantage in AgTech and hemp production.
