Hemp, the unknown super-food

Hemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant, which has many industrial uses, in fact there are more than 25,000 known uses for it, many of which answer our global health problems and the environmental crisis, offering a way to live in harmony with the environment and ecosystems we depend on.
Hemp fiber can replace almost all non-renewable raw material, it is more versatile and stronger than cotton and wool, so it can replace petroleum-based products like plastic, and the best part is, it can grow anywhere and doesn’t require pesticides, herbicides or fungicides.

Hemp, the unknown super-food
