It has eco-friendly characteristics and can be grown without the need for several synthetic fertilizers while requiring less water. It can remediate contaminated soils by absorbing heavy metals and other pollutants. It can also improve the soil quality for future crops through phytoremediation and remove contaminants efficiently. It absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which makes it a potential contributor to carbon sequestration efforts. It assists in reducing the risk of heart disease and promoting healthy cholesterol levels. As it aids in managing chronic pain and alleviating symptoms of anxiety and stress, the demand for industrial hemp is rising in the United States.
