Open landscapes. Strong fibers.
We develop and test a farm-to-fiber hemp value chain in rural Eastern Slovakia, from cultivation and farming to small-scale processing and material research.
About
KannaLab is a practice-based initiative in Eastern Slovakia focused on hemp, land, and materials.
​
We work from farm to fibre in collaboration with Textilné Centrum Košice, testing how hemp can be cultivated, processed and used in early material applications in rural and marginal contexts.​
Through small-scale pilots and collaborative research, we connect local practice with designers, researchers and farmers.
We collaborate as a non-academic partner in applied research and EU-funded projects.
BIOBOOST HEMP
Algae and endophytes to support hemp performance on acidic, marginal soils.
With Albitech (HU) and EcoFuel (CZ), KannaLab is testing algae and endophytes on acidic, marginal soils. The pilot follows one full cultivation cycle, combining field monitoring with lab analysis and a replicable methodology for farmers.
Our Team
KannaLab is currently led by a small core team and a network of collaborators across agriculture, design, and research. We work through partnerships rather than fixed structures, depending on the needs of each project.
Research & Experimentation
KannaLab works with hemp as both a crop and a material. We combine agroecological farming with early-stage fibre research to explore how hemp can be processed and applied.
Our focus is on testing, learning, and collaboration, laying the groundwork for future textile and bio-based uses.
If our vision resonates with yours, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s connect.
