Objective Hemp (Cannabis sativa) is an environmentally friendly annual fibre crop, grown historically throughout Europe and which yielding and climate adaptation are better than flax or kenaf. Its main use is high quality paper pulps but new high volume and medium value end-products are needed to stimulate the demand (e.g. composite materials).The main objectives are to stimulate the expansion of the hemp crop in the E.U. by overcoming the major limitations (agronomical aspects: plant health, harvesting; breeding: cultivars with other characteristics; new processing systems: extraction; utilization: new innovative products). This project deals with the entire production chain.
