Future Farm’s Commitment to Non-GMO Cannabis

Vancouver, British Columbia, Oct. 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NEWMEDIAWIRE — Future Farm Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “Future Farm”) (CSE: FFT) (OTCQB: FFRMF) is pleased to announce its commitment to socially responsible, non-GMO cultivation of the cannabis plant. It plans to implement this commitment by deepening its relationship with Rahan Meristem Ltd., a world renown global agro-biotechnology company incorporated in the State of Israel with more than 250 employees in five locations and over 40 years of experience in plant propagation and breeding (“Rahan”).

A key objective of the expanded work with Rahan is the creation of elite plant strains by in vitro mutagenesis, a proprietary technology developed, proven and patent protected by Rahan. The elite strains will be chosen based on their effectiveness for a variety of commercially valuable applications. For example, Future Farm’s new affiliate in St. John’s, Newfoundland, CEPG Consulting and Design Inc., is in discussions to develop a cannabis-infused bottled water product that would benefit from using one of the elite strains under development.

The Rahan methodology is, Future Farm believes, a superior alternative to the genetic modification of the cannabis plant proposed by multinational agribusiness companies like Monsanto.

The multidisciplinary work being done with Rahan combines state of the art technologies in the fields of cell culture, molecular genetics, analytical chemistry, phenomic tools, and computation technology, all in combination with sophisticated controlled environment agronomy. “We have gathered a highly motivated group of domain experts from a variety of professional backgrounds to reach our goals as quickly as possible,” says Dr. Eli Khayat, Rahan’s Scientific Director.
