Map notes
Places specialising in the knowledge or production of industrial hemp (solid dots) and potential, randomly located areas of industrial hemp cultivation within the Karlsruhe bioregion (dotted circles with question marks). During the ‘On tradition and transition’ education programme, students visited two locations: producer BAFA Neu and ropemaker Joachim Dittus. Because hemp cultivation is subject to strict confidentiality regulations, exact field locations are not publicly disclosed and could therefore not be visited. Although the approximate number of cultivation sites within the bioregion can be estimated from agricultural statistics, their precise positions remain unknown and are represented here as randomised locations.
