Hemp Global Solutions
Hemp offers solutions for soil, climate, nutrition, raw materials - and resources for all...it is the bio-tool of dreams...
'Past Becomes Future'
Hemp offers realistic pathways to sustainable living for all of the worlds communities. Hemp is the perfect bio-tool for the challenges of the 21st century.
"Why use up the forests which were centuries in the making and the mines which required ages to lay down, if we can get the equivalent of forest and mineral products in the annual growth of the (hemp) fields?" - Henry Ford
The Solutions are Simple:
Time to find legitimate alternatives to unsustainable products (fossil fuels, trees, and other detrimentally sourced resources) is running out.
Hemp's rapid growth and high calorific value makes it the obvious choice for harvested energy in developing countries where charcoal is the primary fuel. See our 'Food and Fuel' project.

Sustainable Raw Materials
The world's oldest and most versatile crop, hemp has the potential to replace all major non-renewable raw materials. It's a vast range of end-uses include nutrition (the most nutritious single food source known), multi-use fibre for industry and communities, and forestry derived fuel replacement. With deforestation running at around 3% per year, hemp offers respite for trees and superior resources for people. Hemp derived fibre is stronger and more versatile than any other plant derived fibre, including cotton and wood. Hemp content is used in the worlds major currency banknotes due to it's strength and water resistance. hemp is also a major resource for construction, creating excellent boards, insulation and 'bio-crete,' a sustainable replacement for concrete.
Hemp - Nature's Solution to the Carbon Challenge
Hemp's rapid growth makes it one of the fastest CO2-to-biomass conversion tools available, more efficient than agro-forestry per land use. Hemp grows in diverse soil types and conditions without the need for chemical inputs and improves soil structure while also protecting and binding soil. Hemp also adds nutrients to soil by tapping into sub-soil nutrients other plants cannot access. It also destroys nematodes and other soil pests, resulting in improved yields of follow on crops. With the additional benefits of high nutrition and versatile biomass for raw materials, hemp offers a path to sustainable living in harmony with the environment and eco-systems we depend on.
Many high tech solutions to GHG emissions are being promoted and developed. HGS believe that the exponential power of nature in the form of hemp offers the simplest, most beneficial and least costly path to human sustainability.
