Environmental impact
Hemp is an exceptional crop for carbon sequestration, capturing between 7 and 9 tonnes of CO2 per hectare in its biomass (some even say up to 15 or 20 tonnes). This capability not only helps in reducing the carbon footprint but also makes hemp an excellent raw material for creating long-lasting carbon capture materials like hempcrete. Additionally, its low pesticide requirement supports biodiversity and promotes sustainable land use, offering solutions for food, feed, and biomaterials from a single harvest.
Social benefits
Hemp drives local economic growth by creating job opportunities, especially in regions struggling with agricultural challenges. Its versatility supports a wide range of industries including textiles, construction, and health products, enhancing community development and economic diversification.
