16 Oct 2019 --- Archipelago Ventures, the recently formed joint venture (JV) between Arcadia Biosciences and Legacy Ventures Hawaii, is scaling its Hawaiian hemp cultivation footprint. The JV has also introduced a new autoflowering hemp varietal, as well as initiating oil extraction operations on the islands. This will ultimately allow the JV to further develop and test highly specialized, resilient and productive proprietary hemp seeds for a variety of different climates. This is critical for ensuring that hemp reliably has THC levels below the federal limit to avoid having to destroy crops.
