1. If you were designing an agricultural investment programme, what are the top 5 things you would do to maximize its impact on nutrition?
Objectively assess the unique and essential nutritional profile of the whole Cannabis plant, without prejudice against the cultivation of "industrial hemp" strains. See www.cannabisinternational.org for more information about why Cannabis is in fact a "dietary essential."
2. To support the design and implementation of this programme, where would you like to see more research done, and why?
Research is needed to determine which lands are available for phytoremediation and for expanding the arable base, using highly adaptable and industrially useful pioneers crops inclusive of Cannabis.
3. What can our institutions do to help country governments commit to action around your recommendations, and to help ensure implementation will be effective?
Officially recognize the impact that current drug policy has had on food security and nutrition.
