Is er nu serieus nog niemand geweest met een suggestie/mening of idee met betrekking tot deze plant? Naast het boerenkool & bloemkool zaad van Dick lijkt me dit toch wel iets om even bij stil te staan? Zonder hennep hadden we praktisch geen gouden eeuw gekend! Als SHTF zou aanhouden dan zou een naast wol, hennep DE bron zijn voor textiel kleren. Ook zou er zeil van gemaakt kunnen worden. Wellicht ooit gehoord van ' The emperor wears no clothes' ?
Hennep / hemp: ''There are over 50 000 recorded uses, and amazingly every part of the plant is utilized''
''Hemp is grown organically. It is naturally resistantto most pests so no pesticides or herbicides are required in its cultivation. An acre field of hemp can yield up to 8 dry tons of fiber, that’s about 3 times more than cotton. The same crop will also give 4 times more paper than an acre forest trees. Hemp makes an extremely durable textile fabric which is four times stronger than cotton. And hemp paper lasts way longer than wood-based paper (hemp paper more than 1,500 years old has even been found). Hemp paper can also be recycled more times than wood-based paper. Also, hemp grows in about 3 to 4 months, whereas trees take over 20 years to reach a size worth destroying. Best of all though is that the hemp plant has a rapid rate of photosynthesis; which means more oxygen for everyone.
Industrial hemp will provide solutions to many of South Africa’s critical issues. It will create jobs, nourish and clothe people, build houses and reduce our dependence on forest products.''
Bovendien groeit de plant vrijwel overal!
