About<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like its cousin, flax, hemp is a \u201cbast\u201d fiber, which means that the fiber-producing part of the plant is made up of strands that run its length and surround the woody core of the stem. It grows quickly, is naturally resistant to many insect species, and needs little water to cultivate. It also has a deep root system, which helps to reduce soil loss and erosion, and is useful in many different crop rotations. In China, the leading producer of hemp, farmers rotate it with soybeans, tobacco, wheat, and corn.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Challenges<\/h6>\n

Hemp production, processing, and transportation can be water- and energy-intensive.<\/h2>\n

Hemp production and processing can involve relatively large quantities of fertilizer and machinery, both of which use a lot of water. And because hemp is bulky, transportation to processing centers can be costly and energy-intensive. Barriers to the wider adoption of hemp also exist. Though hemp has no psychoactive properties, it\u2019s been demonized for belonging to the cannabis family. Plus, the main means for processing hemp was developed in the early 1900s and is only now being updated and expanded to meet rising demand.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Solutions<\/h6>\n

For plant fibers like hemp, we\u2019re paying special attention to soil health.<\/h2>\n

We’re supporting the fashion and textiles industry in switching to fibers and materials that have better environmental and social outcomes than their conventional alternatives. For hemp, this means it should be grown according to verified organic and sustainability standards that take into consideration reduced greenhouse gas emissions, increased biodiversity, healthier soils, and clean and accessible water.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

At the moment, very few pesticides are permitted to be used on hemp, and many of them are biologicals. Hemp is also a nitrogen-thirsty crop. But studies have shown that compost and manure can provide enough nutrients for hemp to grow well, and synthetic fertilizers aren\u2019t needed. This may change as the crop becomes more of a commodity, however. There will likely be a push to include conventional pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and perhaps even genetically modified varieties. It\u2019s vital to keep the low-input nature of current hemp farming practices in place so that growing the crop has a small impact on biodiversity, water quality, and greenhouse gas emissions and still improves the health of the soil.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Certification to a program such as Textile Exchange\u2019s Organic Content Standard is a good starting point. For non-organic production, brands should still adhere to practices that support Textile Exchange\u2019s Climate+<\/a> strategy, which calls for a 45% reduction in the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that come from producing fibers and raw materials by 2030, while also supporting the interdependent impact areas of biodiversity, soil health, and water quality and availability.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Hemp can be used in a blend with cotton, silk, and a variety of other fibers and materials. Some brands also like to use it as 100% content, whether in knits or woven materials.

It\u2019s important to consider the least \u201ctransportation miles\u201d while developing product lines, and therefore support the development of localized processing and manufacturing facilities. There is a ban on hemp production in many countries, and this has led to the demise of hemp machinery throughout the supply chain. Greenhouse gas emissions stem largely from fossil-fuel-based transport to processing facilities, often far from the point of production.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
