Why not produce a real crop, no fertilizers or pesticides or herbicides needed:

I'm no horticulturist but I'm pretty sure that is not a sustainable procedure! Not sure just how much hemp depletes the soil, but I suspect it may be a heavy deplete.

My understanding is that it is a nitrogen fixer. It is also a very good building material.

Yup fixes nitrogen but depleats P and K.

You have a choice. Fibre hemp or seed hemp but you can't have both in one.

I believe people should not pay too much attention to the whole food thing,yes health mindfullness is a good thing,but all the rules and regulation,knowledge on food is over the top,I for one am sick of people and "clean eating"obsessions.I believe consumer awareness is a good thing and at other times consumer awareness just does not matter to me.I am on a farm,and I make a point of not paying too much attention of my food supply, I pay attention where i can buy local, etc,but overall i have decided not to be a food snob,like so many people I know who obsess about food information.Once in a while,when the harvest of lettuce is fresh,buying bolgnoa at the meat market,just two slices,buying some white bread,spreading with butter and lettuce and eating it,I am not embarassed to tell you that i do this about once or twice a year.it is best not to pay too much attention to your food supply.
