Planting hemp is betting on the future: experts point out environmental and economic benefits in Deusa Cast

In episode #34 of Deusa Cast, industrial hemp was the focus of the conversation, and the arguments for Brazil to pay more attention to this ancient plant go far beyond what one might imagine. 

With the theme 'Discover everything that can be done with hemp: from biofuel to jeans,' the podcast welcomed two heavyweights in the field: Fabrício Ebonizardo, a cannabis lawyer and vice president of the Cannabis Brazil Institute of Science and Technology, and Thiago Zílio, president of the same institution.

Among the many topics discussed, one point stands out: the positive impacts of hemp cultivation on the soil, the environment, and the economy. 'It is a regenerative plant that cleans the soil and still has total utilization: from the stem to the seeds, everything becomes a product,' explains Ebonizardo. Zílio reinforces that investing in hemp is opening doors to an industry that can generate jobs, income, and sustainability.
