Hemp was the major product for ropes etc until Dupont invented nylon. They lobbied the US gov to have it outlawed as a plant . It also needs little water and could easily replace most of the cotton growing in Australia - the driest continent on earth.

Good video, nice message. The material properties of the plant has been know for decades, it has two hurdles: social and economic. Productions like this go a long way twoards addressing the social perception of this plant, but the economics are the primary limiting factor still. To say "you can do this" is great, but the economics do still matter. Comparing hemp vice a conventional material, conventional usualy wins due to how the agricultural production, processing, and logistics is configured. The future question is, can it be produced economically and delivered a larger profit margin than the conventional competition. That is why "sustainable agriculture" theory places economics as one of the pillars. Again though, great video. I just think it's a rose tinted portrayal.
@@nathankoroush7918 Yes, I have heard that, but maybe it was cotton AND Big Oil....I imagine the Big Oil had a lot more to gain than cotton, tho I could be wrong. Originally, cars were designed by Ford to run on Hemp fuel. With Hemp out of the way, the cars went to gas. AND all the old transportation electric trams in L.A. and many other cities were bought out by Big Oil and then dismantled - even as far south as in Peru!

All of these uses and benefits of hemp are wonderful. But, for everyone to use it in today's world, it must be mass produced in large, habitat devastating monocultures. If everyone were required to grow it, then we wouldn't have to clear such large swaths of land for it. If people were paid to grow it and the harvests were collected by municipalities, it could also be supplemental income for people. But when it comes down to it, limiting population growth is the most important path toward sustainability.
Can hemp be rattoned or can it be cut green before flowering so that it can be produce a series of new cuttings the same way sorghum can be rattoned or cut green to produce a second crop, third crop, 4th crop, and so forth and so on. So the question is can hemp be cut before it flowers or cut when half grown so that it will keep on producing new cuttings indefinitely from the same roots (cut down and allowed to resprout from the roots)?

As a farmer, the most important take away is to not just keep repeating the same production methods with hemp. Unfortunately i saw many images of large hemp fields and unfortunately this is anthother example of monoculture. I commend Patagonia for participating in this endeavor to bring better fabrics but until industry realizes that agriculture is a holistic practice between many different ecosystem. The mass production of hemp, organic or not, is still leadinf down the same road.
Great points Patrick! With the passage of the Farm Bill in December 2018, we hope to see a commitment to sustainable hemp farming in the US, now that it's legal.
@@patagonia the challege when it come to integrating ecological farming with our modern economic systemis that for example it is not efficient for a company like Patagonia to purchace raw material from many small farms. At the same time using a distribution model also does not work for farmers. Please continue this conversation as you folks can infuence a large segment of the population.

I like it. Wish they would of show the process through. The showed the spinning if the fiber. Wanted to see what you could make from it. How do you make fuels from hemp? Like a diesel I'm assuming. Good video nevertheless. 👍
Great video. How can this be age-restricted? 99.9% of youtube would have to be age-restricted for this to make a like of sense. My 2019 award for dumbest age-restriction--no contest.
I grew up in middle Nebraska where hemp now grows wild. Yes, I thought I could get high from it but, seriously, you would have to smoke till your lungs get black to get even a mild buzz. Believe me, as a bored teenager in Nebraska farmlands I was eager for fun and I did try, but nothing. I had no idea why we used to grow it and why it became illegal.
President Trump passed the Farm Bill last December, making Hemp LEGAL TO GROW. My state is charging a $3000 Hemp Tax inorder to grow something that is now legal, and people here are cheering our state government for letting them pay to grow it 😐
I remember my grandfather telling me almost 50yrs ago that the big wigs in the oil industry wanted oil instead of hemp then they hammered weed and hemp was in the same paragraph and was labelled devils weed and there went hemp and here came oil he was a very wise man pretty much exactly what happened hmm
5.23 alone makes this a better alternative, as we routinely grow hemp in 5-8 month rotations we would effectively remove a ton of oxygen as a byproduct. its an industry worth cutting plastic for! #All4It
Hemp "marijuana" was outlawed in 1937 in the U.S. In Canada it was outlawed in 1923. Today, Canada has legalized cannabis for all purposes. Industrial hemp missed the industrial revolution due to prohibition. THAT was the "criminal act". Food, clothing, shelter, fuel, plastics, paper, carbon sequestration.... the list goes on & on.
This would be perfect to grow on seasonal grow sites. In UK we get 1 season to grow hemps sister plant,so to plant hemp before cannabis it would help the soil no end,and it will grow in seasons where cannabis wont. I will definitely give this a try next year. ThankQ. TkEZ>UK

Good question.. probably got flagged by DEA agents afraid of losing their jobs locking up peaceful humans in cages.

Patagonia, you're awesome.
Amazing video! As someone who's researched a lot about cannabis in it's form as a psychoactive substance, it's very interesting to learn more about the industrial uses of the plant!
YES!!! 🤩 THANK ALL OF YOU AND THE PEOPLE THAT DO EVERYTHING TO GET ALL THIS KNOWLEDGE KNOWN!!! 👍👍 I HAVE BEEN TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS!!! THANK YOU ALL!!! THANK YOU ALL!!! THANK YOU ALL!!!
A very thoughtful and well made video on a subject that is misunderstood. Hemp for the environment!!
I would really love it if you made this shareable! Great video!
No mention of Anslinger and the FBN and Dupont?
As a farmer, the most important take away is to not just keep repeating the same production methods with hemp. Unfortunately i saw many images of large hemp fields and unfortunately this is anthother example of monoculture. I commend Patagonia for participating in this endeavor to bring better fabrics but until industry realizes that agriculture is a holistic practice between many different ecosystem. The mass production of hemp, organic or not, is still leadinf down the same road.
Great points Patrick! With the passage of the Farm Bill in December 2018, we hope to see a commitment to sustainable hemp farming in the US, now that it's legal.
@@patagonia the challege when it come to integrating ecological farming with our modern economic systemis that for example it is not efficient for a company like Patagonia to purchace raw material from many small farms. At the same time using a distribution model also does not work for farmers. Please continue this conversation as you folks can infuence a large segment of the population.
I can’t imagine why these ideas haven’t made it on to the MSM yet
Thank you for the knowledge you share here. Let us make a better healthier living and cleaner planet earth.
Send feedback on this being age restricted. You never know, they might actually listen...
Doesn't modern farming practices in america require about 10x more petroleum than hemp will ever replace?
No. When grown for fuel
It replaces its self and the net co2 gain is zero
My Grandfather grew Hemp in Kansas back in the 20's/early 30's when it was still legal.
bigwheelsturning that's kick ass! What area?
I MIGHT have grown "hemp"
In ks in the 90s when it was illegal.
Just south of Lawrence. It may have been in the path of the E4 tornado on Tuesday, but I haven't confirmed that with my brothers yet.
bigwheelsturning no kidding!! Crazy! I live 20 miles south of Lawrence.
Hope ur family is ok
PEACE!.

WTF UA-cam ? AGE RESTRICTION ON SOMETHING that should have been talked to our children in school for years and years and years might as well just watch The View UA-cam
UA-cam, why is this age-restricted?
I don't like that I'm thinking of Patagonia sponsoring this content while I'm watching. Commercial in disguise
Don't run down cotton just because hemp fibers are strong. We need and can use both.
I grow cotton, and look forward to growing hemp as well.
"Honey!? Can you pick up another pack of Hemp Balls?" Definitely not replacing cotton balls, gauze, bandages... May not be replacing Nitrocellulose either.
Thank you for this, Patagonia. Awesome company.
Can we have *hemp* *_suits_* please? I'll need them for work. Thanks in advance.
They already have a lot of heavy duty gear made using hemp
Check out Bombay hemp company to buy cloth to you liking
It’s crazy this plant is just like life you love it when they’re here you hate it that they’re gone and you wish they could bring it back nice video
I like it. Wish they would of show the process through. The showed the spinning if the fiber. Wanted to see what you could make from it. How do you make fuels from hemp? Like a diesel I'm assuming. Good video nevertheless. 👍
The ban on this crop has helped break and split so many families, and farms. How could they not feel robbed? Levon Helm (Growing Trade) great song!!
Thank you for sharing more #Hemp knowledge.
Great video. How can this be age-restricted? 99.9% of youtube would have to be age-restricted for this to make a like of sense. My 2019 award for dumbest age-restriction--no contest.
I grew up in middle Nebraska where hemp now grows wild. Yes, I thought I could get high from it but, seriously, you would have to smoke till your lungs get black to get even a mild buzz. Believe me, as a bored teenager in Nebraska farmlands I was eager for fun and I did try, but nothing. I had no idea why we used to grow it and why it became illegal.
Brillant film!
Great video Patagonia!
this doco made me sad...
*i hope we can get our act together and put this earth back into shape* ✌
President Trump passed the Farm Bill last December, making Hemp LEGAL TO GROW. My state is charging a $3000 Hemp Tax inorder to grow something that is now legal, and people here are cheering our state government for letting them pay to grow it 😐
I remember my grandfather telling me almost 50yrs ago that the big wigs in the oil industry wanted oil instead of hemp then they hammered weed and hemp was in the same paragraph and was labelled devils weed and there went hemp and here came oil he was a very wise man pretty much exactly what happened hmm
Thank you for spreading the knowledge!
5.23 alone makes this a better alternative, as we routinely grow hemp in 5-8 month rotations we would effectively remove a ton of oxygen as a byproduct. its an industry worth cutting plastic for! #All4It
Hemp "marijuana" was outlawed in 1937 in the U.S. In Canada it was outlawed in 1923. Today, Canada has legalized cannabis for all purposes. Industrial hemp missed the industrial revolution due to prohibition. THAT was the "criminal act". Food, clothing, shelter, fuel, plastics, paper, carbon sequestration.... the list goes on & on.
Wonderful video👏
Patagonia...well done...
This would be perfect to grow on seasonal grow sites. In UK we get 1 season to grow hemps sister plant,so to plant hemp before cannabis it would help the soil no end,and it will grow in seasons where cannabis wont. I will definitely give this a try next year. ThankQ. TkEZ>UK
Wow. I had zero idea about this. Amazing.
Patagonia, the best
