Synopsis

  • This video from Our Changing Climate explains how hemp, a non-psychoactive strain of cannabis, can sequester large amounts of carbon, improve soil quality, and be used to produce a wide range of products.
  • Students will learn that American farmers stopped growing hemp in the early 1900s because of its association with psychoactive cannabis use.
  • Hemp farming is now on the rise again, but some fear that the surge in interest will lead to unsustainable farming techniques.
