EU Hemp Subsidy News: On 23 February 2011, the EU Commission voted on a proposal to reinstate the FINOLA oilseed crop subsidy, but only for Finnish farmers. Official EU representatives from other member states have already asked to re-receive the crop subsidy for FINOLA. At one time, this subsidy was paid for FINOLA production throughout the EU, until it was wrongfully removed after the summer of 2006. Ask your Ministry of Agriculture why the EU hemp subsidy is not being paid for the production of FINOLA oilseed hemp in your country. Read More!

Update on the EU Hemp Subsidy for FINOLA: On October 6 of 2011, The Finnish Ministry of Agriculture officially asked the EU Commission to explain why the EU hemp subsidy has not been returned to all 27 member states of the EU for the production of FINOLA oilseed hemp. Despite overwhelming independent scientific evidence presented by the The Finnish Ministry of Agriculture, which shows the THC "problem" to have been due to late sampling (human error) rather than a problem with the FINOLA variety, the EU Commission has recently decided that each EU member state should also conduct its own extensive two year testing program, as if the work in Finland was not good enough. Of course, this is absurd and quite an insult to the various government agencies in Finland that have worked very hard during the last three years to demonstrate the precise nature of this problem; that is, late sampling and human incompetence. Such an illogical decision by the EU Commission is a complete disregard for the scientific method (as if science might be different in other member states...). Such a decision also causes one to wonder about the practical validity of a functional "union" within Europe.

Aside from this particular matter, we will continue in our efforts to help the Commission understand that the Earth is still round, so that they need not spend any extra time or money on worrying that someone might fall off the edge. At present, they are still busy calculating just how many civil servants can dance on the head of a pin!

WE HAVE THE TOOLS, SO LET'S FEED THE WORLD!

FINOLA is a weapon of mass production in the war on hunger, poverty and even ignorance!

The FINOLA oilseed hemp variety is an excellent source of sustainable food and fiber. The exceptional fatty acid profile in Finola® hempseed oil offers a rich source of essential fatty acids (EFAs); polyunsaturated omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, including significant amounts of GLA and SDA. We can't make EFAs ourselves, so we have to get them from the daily diet. The EFAs are needed to produce many important things in our bodies, including optimal nerve functions throughout the brain and central nervous system.

So at Finola ky, we're also fighting a guerrilla war on ignorance, at the neuronal level, one fatty acid at a time!

The Finola name and the seed-drop logo are trademarked.

The FINOLA variety of oilseed hemp is protected by OECD Plant Breeder Rights.
