Where in the World is Hemp grown for food, fibre and fuel?
The Americas
Canada
Started to license research crops in 1994 on an experimental basis. In addition to crops for fibre, one seed crop was experimentally licensed in 1995. Many acres were planted in 1997. Canada now licenses for commercial agriculture with thousands of acres grown all over the country in 1998. Farmers were pleased, not only with the hemp harvest, but noted less
need for pesticides on subsequent crops, as the hemp had killed
off insects and fungus.
