Cultivation for Compounds
At the Cultivation for Compounds theme square, you’ll discover an all-new approach to horticulture: growing for compounds rather than simply maximizing production quantities. Precision and consistency are central to this approach – and essential for the production of medicinal cannabis. An immersive 360° movie offers insights into the rich history of cannabis. You’ll learn, among other things, how societal influences have negatively impacted the plant’s public image, as well as which scientific insights have led to its revaluation.
In a surprising way, our theme square demonstrates how a combination of innovative growing methods, stringent quality controls and goal-oriented research leads to a stable end product. A unique consortium of leading organizations – spearheaded by Vertify, Cultivators and World Horti Center – is carrying out a four-year research project on optimal cultivation methods, and shares its knowledge at the square.
Be inspired by the powerful interplay of innovation, specialization and technology, shaping the future of medicinal cannabis. Walk around our square to discover all the steps involved in the process of cultivating for compounds. To learn more about the partners of the consortium, you can tap their logos on our interactive Video Wall. In addition, we invite you to take a look at our display cabinet to see a wide range of end products made from various compounds in cannabis.
