Landrace

Landrace refers to the original hemp strains that have grown naturally in their wild, native environments, allowing the plant’s genetics to undergo the process of natural selection and environmental adaptation. Cannabis plants have a remarkable ability to adapt to different environments, and many centuries ago, humans carried the plant with them as they traveled the world. Landrace strains have their origins in regions like the Middle East, the African continent, Central and South Asia, as well as Central and South America. It is estimated that there are more than 30 original landrace hemp strains from various parts of the globe. Some of the most notable examples of landrace strains include Afghan, Hindu Kush, Thai, Acapulco Gold, and Puna Buddaz.
