Speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk, the director of Oxford University’s Environmental Change Institute claimed ‘there is good reason to by hyped’ about the cannabis plant. People working in the sector believe the plant has been underused and overlooked partly because of the stigma around marijuana, another form of cannabis plant used as a drug.
There are some doubts about the amount of carbon hemp can retain and experts are cautious about talking up its environmental benefits too much, particularly if it does not become more widely used. ‘There definitely are opportunities here’, he explained, suggesting it could be more cost-effective for producers than current alternatives.
