Summary:
"The men and women who are testing, researching, and pioneering
hemp
's applications for the twenty-first century. In Denver, author Doug Fine hitches a ride in a hemp-powered limo; in Asheville, North Carolina, hempcrete-insulated houses are sparking a mini housing boom; in Manitoba the author raps his knuckles on the hood of a
hemp
tractor; and finally in the fields of east Colorado, where practical farmers are looking toward
hemp
to restore their
agricultural
economy - we learn how eminently possible it is for this misunderstood plant to help us end dependence on fossil fuels, heal farm soils damaged after a century of growing monocultures, and bring even more taxable revenue into the economy than its smokable relative. Doug Fine is an investigative journalist and solar-powered goat herder. He is the author of 'Too high to fail : cannabis and the new green economic
revolution
