What European Farmers Really Think About Growing Hemp 

What European Farmers Really Think About Growing Hemp 
Hemp is often presented as an almost ideal crop for the future: fast-growing, versatile, relatively low in chemical inputs and capable of supplying raw materials for everything from food and textiles to construction materials and wellness products. But what happens when we stop looking at hemp through the eyes of marketers and policymakers and ask the farmers who actually have to grow it?

Hemp has earned considerable attention as a renewable raw material, particularly in construction. One of the most interesting applications is thermal insulation made from hemp fibre. Because hemp absorbs carbon dioxide while growing, these materials are sometimes described simply as “carbon negative.”

Hemp is often discussed in terms of what can be made from it: fibres, food ingredients, construction materials, and cannabinoid products. But an increasingly interesting question begins before any of these products exist: what happens to the soil when hemp is grown?
