NYS Breeding Program

NYS Research License

Agricultural Genomics Foundation (AGF) believes that collaboration is key to driving innovation in the cannabis industry. Our research project seeks to partner with passionate cultivators to push the boundaries of breeding science and shape the future of cannabis genetics.

AGF plans to submit an application to obtain a New York State (NYS) cannabis research license for breeding experiments. Participation from NYS licensed cultivators on this project increases AGF’s success in being awarded the NYS Cannabis Research License.
