More Benefits of Hemp As a Crop

[Danielle]

Hemp has been known since ancient times for its medicinal and textile uses. It is currently experiencing an expansion because of its many petrochemicals, fibers and agricultural features. These include its ability to resist pests and drought. Hemp also grows a well developed roots system that prevents soil erosion, and it requires less water in order for it to grow.

Its versatility encourages future study of cannabis biochemistry and genetic engineering. The availability of its genome sequence helps with molecular studies of this crop.
