FAQ
What are the growing conditions required for medical plant-based therapies?

How does Australia regulate the cultivation of these plants?
The industry is highly regulated, requiring licences, compliance with strict quality standards, and adherence to government policies. The Office of Drug Control (ODC) oversees the licensing process for cultivation and production.
What cultivation methods are used for growing medical plants in Australia?
There are various techniques, including:
- Hydroponics – Soil-free growing for maximum nutrient absorption
- Organic Cultivation – Using natural compost and sustainable farming techniques
- Indoor & Greenhouse Cultivation – Controlled environments for year-round production
What happens after harvesting?
