Hemp, the eco-friendly plant by nature

Hemp is a very versatile plant that belongs to the Cannabaceae family. There are several varieties of hemp, some of which are used for their psychotropic properties (cannabis), and others for their fibers, seeds, oils or industrial applications (industrial hemp). Industrial hemp is distinguished from cannabis by its low THC content, the substance responsible for the psychoactive effects. Industrial hemp must have a THC content of less than or equal to 0.2% to be legally cultivated in France.

Hemp is a plant that has many environmental, economic and social benefits. It can be used to make textiles, construction materials, cosmetics, biofuels, food, medicines and many other products. Hemp is also beneficial for soils, biodiversity, climate and human health. Here are some examples of uses of hemp:

Textiles: hemp fibers are strong, durable, absorbent and antibacterial. They can be used to make clothing, bags, ropes, rugs, canvases or sails. Hemp is an eco-friendly alternative to cotton, which requires a lot of water and pesticides. Hemp can also be mixed with other natural or synthetic fibers to create innovative fabrics.
Construction: Hemp can be used to make building materials such as hempcrete, hemp wool, hemp boards or hemp bricks. These materials are insulating, lightweight, resistant to fire, mold and rodents. They help reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and construction waste. Hemp can also be used for interior decoration, such as wallpaper, flooring or furniture.
Cosmetics: hemp oil is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants. It has moisturizing, nourishing, regenerating and anti-inflammatory properties. It can be used to make cosmetic products such as creams, balms, soaps, shampoos or massage oils. Hemp oil can also be used for hair, skin, nail or lip care.
Biofuels: Hemp can be used to make biofuels such as biodiesel, ethanol or methane. These biofuels are renewable, biodegradable and less polluting than fossil fuels. Hemp can also be used for the production of biomass, which can be transformed into electricity or heat.
Food: Hemp seeds are a source of protein, fiber, minerals and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. They have beneficial effects on the immune system, the cardiovascular system, the nervous system and the digestive system. Hemp seeds can be eaten raw, roasted, ground or pressed into oil or flour. They can be used to make food products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, bread, biscuits, energy bars or drinks.
Pharmaceuticals: Hemp contains cannabinoids, chemical compounds that act on the endocannabinoid system of the human body. Some cannabinoids, such as CBD, have therapeutic properties known to treat diseases or symptoms such as epilepsy, pain, anxiety, inflammation, glaucoma or multiple sclerosis. Hemp can be used to make medicines in the form of oil, capsules, softgels, creams, sprays or inhalers.

Hemp is therefore a multifaceted plant, which offers sustainable and innovative solutions for the future. Hemp is grown around the world, but legislation varies by country. In Europe, hemp is supported by the Common Agricultural Policy and the European Green Deal, which aim to promote agriculture that is more respectful of the environment and health. Hemp is also a source of jobs, income and rural development for farmers, manufacturers and consumers.
