Hemp for a Healthy Planet

Informative and interesting overview of the capability and sustainability of Hemp.

Tony Budden of Hemporium, a South African company that specializes in the multifarious products that can be made from hemp, talks about the environmental, nutritional, industrial, social and spiritual benefits of using hemp to provide us with almost all of our everyday products. These range from biodegradable plastics, detergents, composites that are stronger than steel yet lighter, finest quality paper, foods, textiles and many more.

He explains how the crop is a natural pest deterrent and requires no pesticides and very little fertiliser (natural please) and delves into the controversial history of the plant revealing many important truths of the nature of our global economic systems. A must see for South African’s that love South Africa!
