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.
