Benefits of Hemp

What one substance available on our planet has hundreds of different uses? No. Not Duct Tape, Hemp.

Hemp can be used to produce paper, rope, clothing, oil, tea, and even fuel. The uses are limitless. But what are the benefits?

Hemp is the most environmentally positive crop. It improves soil quality as it grows, actually providing nutrients to the soil. It requires no herbicides and is naturally resistant to insects, fungus, and other pests. The plant naturally suppresses weeds, and shades and mulches the ground, which its deep roots break up and aerate. These attributes promote healthy soil life and leave the earth well prepared for the next growing season.

Compare the above attributes with Cotton. Cotton is one of the most environmentally destructive crops. Over 275 million pounds of pesticides are used on cotton each year in the US alone. Cotton production also requires an immense amount of water, which depletes this resource and can cause salts to build up in the soil, while hemp needs no irrigation at all.
