The Afghan Project Book

THE AFGHAN PROJECT was started in the month of May 2022 as the ploughing and the sowing began in afghanistan and lasted until the harvest, which was Nov 2022.
The larger goal of the project was to document the cannabis cultivation scene in Afghanistan post the Taliban takeover in 2021. However, we also covered some of the provinces we couldn’t document during the Durand line project 2020 and visited some farms from where our best selections had come.
This publication, along with the tour information of 2022, will also take you through the answers to some of the age old questions around the afghani landrace varieties and their sought after characteristics which have eluded us all. We take a deep dive into the terroir, domestication process, adaptations and much more in this book. We have all wondered at some point in time looking at the afghani landrace varieties “why all of the desirable features like – short flowering term, intense skunky aromas, short stature and high volumes of secondary metabolite production, only emanates from a certain part of the world. Now in order to understand that we need to take a step back from the garden and start from the terroir itself.
We have divided the Afghanistan’s terroir into 4 topographically different regions in order to track the development of primordial landrace populations of Hindu kush into the robust domesticated types seen today in almost all of Afghanistan.
This Book is a piece of history don’t miss the chance to own one!
