Hemp improves soil health by shading out weeds, lowering the need for synthetic pesticides, and bringing diversity to crop rotations. Hemp is also a marketable product with thousands of seed, oil, and fiber applications. Cannabis, too, has the potential to thrive in nutrient-depleted soils. In addition, the robust root system of industrial hemp may break up compacted soil, giving aeration and porosity while also stabilizing the ground, which aids in erosion management.
