| Summary: | Long tarnished by a bad image linked to its hallucinogenic effects, and marginalized as a recreational plant because of its association with cannabis, hemp, of the Cannabis sativa Linn variety, has been making a comeback for over two decades worldwide. With the foreseeable shortage of oil and the environmental and energy issues at stake, there is no doubt that the revival of hemp cultivation is part of a vast social and economic recovery plan that could provide solutions to the challenges of our consumer societies. The book describes this annual plant, its age-old and eventful history, and its many agronomic, eco-responsible and economic advantages, all of which are part of the pillars of sustainable development and ecological transition. It also looks at the transformation of plants into high value-added raw materials, their chemical composition and properties. Finally, a special focus is placed on hemp’s many applications, from the most common to the most promising. Each section is illustrated with clear diagrams and key points to remember. |
