Abstract
Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a multiuse, multifunctional crop that can provide valuable raw
material to a large number of no-food industrial applications. The environmentally friendly
cultivation and the sustainability of its products are the main drivers for a future expansion of the
hemp crop. In this chapter we will tackle the main technical issues encountered along the hemp
production chains, from cultivation to fibre processing, for its utilization in textile (longitudinal)
and non textile (disordered) applications.
