    Hops are highly sensitive to the soil acidity and minerals in terms of the compounds the plants produce, so sharing plants is largely infeasible, plus because it’s the US many of them are trademarked so there’s no sharing for that reason

      Surely fertilizer and other additions can be used to adjust this, or genetic editing can be used to incorporate some stuff?

      Okay, but almost everything is trademarked, doesn’t mean it can’t be bought/sold?
