HEMP
EASY ON THE ENVIRONMENT
Hemp crops can grow on slopes, wasteland, saline-alkali land.
Hemp plants naturally absorb metals from the soil, so the long-term planting of hemp is beneficial to soil improvement.
Hemp farming uses a fraction of water when compared to cotton farming.
Hemp does not require the use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers.
It’s zero waste. Seeds are used to make oil and food supplements, while the stalks are used for fibre.
Industrial hemp plants absorb more carbon dioxide than trees and three times that of cotton.
Hemp crops can be fed entirely by rainfall, but if met by a dry season may require irrigation.
Hemp VS Standard cotton:
According to the Stockholm Environmental Institute, 1KG of dry hemp matter will use 300-500 liters, 1KG of cotton will use circa 10,000 liters of water
