Industrial Hemp Production in the New Global Economy

Industrial Hemp Production in the New Global Economy - The whole world is moving rapidly toward a new economic order that relies more on sustainability, favors developing nations and is turning its back on many old industrial mechanisms. Chief among the positive changes going on is the move toward using industrial cannabus as basis for food, fabric, paper, building materials, biodegradable plastics, packaging and medicine. Today's show goes through this spectrum and shows where some of the biggest opportunities in new industry lie with this development of industrial cannabus As well, when we talk about combating global warming, the power of hemp to sequester carbon dioxide, fight against desertification, retain soil, resist flooding and to grow very rapidly are all great reasons to move toward this new economy. We discuss this in the context of saving the HBCU's, and link to emerging economies in the world such as the SADC nation Malawi, the second African nation to allow for the production of non-psychotropic cannabus as an industrial crop. The future has many possibilities which we can invest in, educate ourselves to power and move to the front line of invention, creative engagement, sustainable development and using these new manufacturing concepts.
