Hemp is all the rage these days and for good reason. With its various applications from textiles to food, hemp seems to be a true super plant! But, can hemp be a truly sustainable crop in the future? Let’s take a look at the facts.
Sustainability is something that all farmers worry about since it affects not only the economic and environmental development of the community, but there are also various social aspects involved.
Today, more than ever, there is a heavy focus on the environment and how human behavior does and will continue to affect the Earth. We are now in an era where we have the tools to measure changes to the environment, not only locally but also as a global community.
There has been growing attention paid to crops that are not harming the environment like hemp. Hemp is essentially a waste-free product since every part of the plant can be used. For example, hemp can be made into a fiber from the stalk of the plant or can be used to make food, insulation, and even biofuel!
