Challenge

Cannabis genetics sit in private collections and seed companies with uneven records and no long-term public access. Commercial lines show thousands of names but limited genetic range, leaving cannabis farming exposed to disease, pests, and climate shifts.

Solution

Led by Dr. Max Jones at the University of Guelph, NFCF is building a public cannabis genebank in Canada to collect, preserve, and document varied genetics. The collection supports breeding work for traits like disease response and day-neutral flowering.
