Abstract
Cannabis sativa plant is a multifunctional crop having multiple uses, including for food, fibre, fuel, and construction materials. This makes it a valuable resource for farmers, as it provides multiple income streams and reduces the need for mono-cropping. In addition, hemp has the potential to play a significant role in promoting carbon sequestration and sustainable land use practices. By using hemp for carbon sequestration, for harvesting bioenergy and making of bioplastics, we can help to mitigate the effects of climate change, improve soil health, and promote sustainable agriculture practices. With continued research and investment, this chapter assess different possibilities that could be explored to harvest environmental benefits of Cannabis sativa.
