How can I get involved in or find a career in hemp cultivation? I am a recent mechanical engineering graduate with extensive background in aquaponics system design residing in Connecticut. I was recently laid off from my position as head design engineer for an aquaponics technology company and want to pursue a career in cannabis/hemp cultivation. I have expressed my interests to both cannabis and hemp cultivators in the local area but it just doesn't seem like there's much room for engineering/problem solving in this field currently. How do you recommend I get involved? Do you see the need for engineering in this field, specifically concerning cultivation technology and practices?

Thanks Mr. Hemp, I appreciate your insight.

I have a general knowledge of the growing conditions of the crops. I am mainly focussed on the cultivation technologies and practices because I see a lot of room for improvement in efficiency and quality. I also would love to see the use of hemp in ecological remediation through systems similar to aquaponics.
