Abstract:
This paper investigates possible circular economy pathways which can be applied in different hemp agriculture regimes using hemp by-products. Not only open field hemp cultivation but also the case of hemp growing in indoor greenhouses is presented. Several valorization technologies has been applied to achieve economic and environmental advantages for the farmer: composting of green and wet residues, combustion and gasification of hemp stalks and hurds, co-composting of hemp green residues (leafs and branches) and biochar obtained from hemp ligneous residues (stalk and hurd). Every pathways is discussed from the practical point of view and also considering the entire framework including all the stakeholder involved in the process.
