Why Hemp is Ireland’s Most Sustainable Crop for 2025

Looking for a crop that’s good for your farm and the planet? Hemp is Ireland’s eco-friendly superstar. This guide explores why hemp is sustainable and how Munster Hemp helps you farm green in 2025.

🌍 Hemp’s Environmental Benefits

• Carbon capture: Hemp absorbs more CO2 per acre than most crops, aiding climate goals.
• Soil health: Deep roots break up soil, reduce erosion, and boost fertility.
• Low inputs: Needs less water and fewer pesticides than crops like wheat or barley.
• Biodiversity: Attracts pollinators and supports wildlife-friendly farming.

💸 Sustainability Pays

• Eco-schemes: Hemp qualifies for CAP eco-payments and carbon credit programs.
• Market demand: Buyers want sustainable products like hemp fibre and seeds.
• Long-term gains: Healthier soil means better yields for future crops.
