Oregon State University levels $10M to support Northwest tribes in exploring industrial hemp

Oregon State University will leverage a $10 million grant through the Department of Agriculture to help tribes explore industrial hemp opportunities.

The university’s five-year old Global Hemp Innovation Center (GHIC) will utilize its existing partnerships with Indigenous-led organizations — including Trinidad, Calif.-based Indigenous Habitat Institute and Seattle-based 7 Generations, LLC — to help tribes understand the industrial hemp sector, according to Dr. Jeffery Steiner, director of the GHIC.
