and organic farming with hemp
The hemp plant is not only the most useful plant in the world, hemp is also a
potential climate saver and can even significantly reduce global warming,
climate crises and land degradation with appropriate applications. Greening
Deserts projects such as the Greening Camps and research stations will use
bamboo, hemp and other key plants extensively to improve soil quality and
water quality.
The groundwater is protected by hemp cultivation, sustainable agriculture,
organic farming and innovative water management. Only natural fertilizers are
used and pesticides are avoided, there are many good alternatives. Different
bamboo and hemp sorts can be used in almost every climate and under all
possible conditions or events. Global hemp cultivation can generally contribute
to climate, soil and water improvement as well as for a better cultivation of
crops and a variety of afforestation or reforestation. The founder and project
developer of Greening Camp projects has been developing these innovative
and sustainable solutions for years.
Various greenhouses and research fields can be established together with the
camps for education, research and product development, the projects also
serve the climate, nature and environmental protection. At each camp can be
special biotopes, botanical gardens, greenhouses and parks for endangered
species - especially for cultivating or saving plants, insects and other animals
of each climate zone or region. Climate protection, nature conservation,
species protection and plant science are a few of the primary tasks.
Since the Greening Deserts Masterplan 2017 many of the innovative ideas,
developments and solutions have been presented and realized - not only in
relation to open-pit mines. Through connected projects, most developments
and ideas have been established internationally, even if only conceptually or
theoretically. Many of the developments or products can be realized with hemp,
e.g. hemp books, papers, nets, tarpaulins, ropes, textiles, packaging materials
and other hemp products. Hemp fibers have been used for many centuries in
fishery and shipping because of their flexibility, tear resistance and resilience.
Nowadays, there are well over 50,000 industrial hemp applications, but far too
few are really used. That is why many of the most useful applications are
analyzed with the greening and research camps and applied accordingly.
Hemp paper, hemp wood and hemp plastic are interesting products, so like the
ingredients CBD, THC, etc. - not just for science.
More information about hemp plants and hemp paper:
For about 12,000 years people have been using the raw material. Hemp paper
was invented in China over 2,000 years ago and reached Europe in the 13th
century. For 500 years it was the most widely used raw material in
papermaking. Hemp books such as the Gutenberg Bible and other well-known
works were printed on hemp papers. Hemp paper is much more stable and

2. durable than wood paper. Hemp paper books last much longer and do not turn
yellow fast. Hemp fibers are naturally lighter than wood fibers. Hemp is
therefore better suited for paper production than wood.
The cannabis or hemp plant produces several times higher yields than trees in
terms of cultivated area and growing time. One hectare of hemp field can
replace about 120 hectares of trees. Sustainability, the forest conservation or
preservation of the forests, as well as the improvement of the soils, are further
advantages of hemp production. In principle, almost all varieties can be used
for hemp cultivation. Particularly suitable for hemp fiber production is high-
growth industrial hemp. Depending on the variety, hemp plants can grow
several meters in just three to four months.
Hemp leaves an optimal field or soil for subsequent plants. According to
farmers and hemp farmers, a wheat or potato field can produce up to 20%
more yield in the following year. The hemp plant is therefore a perfect catch
crop and is also very well suited as a bio fertilizer. In some regions even two
harvests per year are possible. Hemp is the ideal plant for ecological and
organic farming or sustainable agriculture. In Germany, hemp is not allowed to
grow for everyone. The cultivation of hemp is just allowed with certain permits
and only for certain agricultural companies. All other companies in agriculture
are not allowed to grow hemp, not even private or forestry organisations. This
clearly contradicts the positive qualities and benefits for the environment,
nature, medicine and society.
Further ecological and economic advantages of the raw material hemp:
 Hemp is very undemanding and grows on almost any soil, the root
system loosens up the soil.
 Hemp plants are very resistant to fungal attacks.
 Hemp cultivation creates a slightly wetter climate, hemp fields support
biodiversity, especially with respect to insects.
 Hemp plants suppress weeds and improve the soil climate.
 Hemp can clean up poisoned soils, sometimes even from some heavy
metals.
 The hemp blossom has many valuable ingredients.
 The hemp plant can be fully utilized, including the foliage, flowers, seeds
and stems. There are thousands of applications and products, e.g. hemp
tea, hemp oil, hemp paper, hemp textiles or hemp fabrics.
 Hemp fibers are very resistant and therefore usable in many areas.
 Hemp fibers are among the most stable natural fibers in the world.
 Hemp paper can be recycled more often than wood paper, almost every
type of paper and cardboard can be made from hemp.
 Hemp books, magazines and newspapers are the future!
