further research

We also needed to look at the actual amount of hemp fibres that would be needed to construct a home.

1 Acre of hemp produces 3-7 tonnes of fibres in a 12 week growing cycle.

roughly 5 tonnes of hemp fibres would be needed per house.

Growing hemp takes in 4 times more carbon dioxide than trees, and while trees take 20+ years to mature, a hemp plant is mature within 4 months.
