Inanna Manufacturing with the president of Inanna Manufacturing, Jason Klein today on The Green Peak With Richard Zwicky only on Cannabis Radio. White label co-packing and co-manufacturing services for the next generation of cannabis brands. It’s all about the Brand. It has been true for every consumer product in history, and it is increasingly true for cannabis as growing legalization and innovation bring exciting new products to market. Branding is how consumers understand a product’s value proposition, but for a brand to truly connect with its target audience, the product must first and foremost deliver consistent quality, a repeatable experience and, in the case of cannabis, comply with a daunting list of state and local regulations before it can go from the raw material into the hands of consumers. That’s where Inanna comes in. No products for sale or shipping.

From Seed to Success: How to Launch a Great Cannabis Cultivation Business in Record Time with author Ryan Douglas. Ryan provides cannabis consulting services through his company, Ryan Douglas Cultivation, LLC. He has worked in commercial horticulture for 23 years and specializes in legal cannabis start-ups. Before entering the cannabis industry, Ryan spent 15 years as a commercial greenhouse grower of ornamental and edible crops, growing up to 600,000 plants annually. As Master Grower from 2013 to 2016, Ryan directed cultivation for Tweed Inc., Canada's largest licensed producer of cannabis and the flagship subsidiary of Canopy Growth Corporation. Ryan now provides cultivation advice to cannabis companies worldwide. Launching a cannabis cultivation facility is no different than starting any other commercially produced agricultural crop, but the excitement and potential for big profits can lead to lapses in judgment that prove devastating for many start-ups. It’s common for new cannabis companies to raise millions of dollars, only to squander it away on poor hires, confusing management structures, and outlandish cultivation strategies. In a short time, these factors come together to form a perfect storm of mistakes that cause many cultivation programs to crash before they really even begin. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way. An entrepreneur does not need to be an expert grower to launch a thriving cultivation business, and most problems can be avoided through the application of basic business principles and good management practices. By utilizing the advice, checklists, and templates found within this book, cannabis entrepreneurs will skip the typical start-up mistakes and enjoy the shortest path from seed to success.

The Green Globe program traces its roots back to the United Nations Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992, where 182 heads of state from around the world endorsed the Agenda 21 principles of sustainable development. The Earth Summit was unprecedented for a U.N. conference, as it was the first time world leaders acknowledged, as a group, that consumption of non-renewable resources was leading to environmental degradation. In the early 1990′s, the term sustainable tourism was in its infancy. Pioneering tourism operators concerned about the effect their operations had on the environment and how best to measure that impact, were often categorized into special interest tourism. Green Globe was developed to provide a way forward for tourism organizations who were interested in measuring their environmental impact and then developing and implementing strategies to reduce those impacts. Following the Summit and after 2 years of additional development, a Green Globe membership program was established. By the end of 1994, 19 travel industry associations had endorsed the program and through joint marketing strategies, promoted Green Globe to their members. By 1995, Green Globe membership had risen to 350 in 74 countries. Green Globe’s environmental program played an important role at World Travel Market and helped World Travel Market organize the exhibition’s first Environmental Awareness Day.
