About this ebook

The global industrial hemp market is estimated to reach $18.6 billion by 2027, with hemp now recognised as a more sustainable crop due to its ability to absorb and store up to twice as much carbon as trees. Despite its versatility, there remains significant concerns surrounding its regulation, as well as consumer understanding and acceptance of hemp and hemp-derived products.

Achieving sustainable cultivation of hemp provides a comprehensive overview of the wealth of research on the global production of industrial hemp and its contribution to the development of more sustainable products. The book also considers different applications of hemp, such as its use in the construction industry and as feed for livestock and fish, as well as the environmental impact of its production.
