Abstract views: 127 / PDF downloads: 27Keywords:
Industrial hemp production, breeding strategies, sustainability, potential applicationsAbstract
Industrial hemp, a versatile and sustainable plant, possesses a broad array of applications. It offers fiber from its stems, food from its seeds, and oil from its flowers and seeds. Its importance lies in its contribution to economic, social, and environmental sustainability, thereby playing a crucial role in fostering a sustainable future. The extensive literature on industrial hemp emphasizes its potential as a sustainable resource. This review aims to underscore hemp's significance globally and highlights various aspects of industrial hemp production, encompassing breeding techniques, challenges, economic projections, and potential utilization.
