Industrial hemp can produce as much paper per acre as trees and with superior environmental impact

Unresolved recorded as “Not Established by the Cited Sources” The Emperor Wears No Clothes

USDA Agricultural Research Service hemp fiber studies (2021): hemp yields 250% more fiber per acre than cotton; requires approximately 50% less water; requires minimal pesticide input. Environmental Life Cycle Assessment studies (European Industrial Hemp Association, 2022) show hemp paper has lower carbon footprint per ton than wood pulp paper across all categories except water use in some growing regions. The specific figures above come from sources that could not be checked (Source not found; under review), and they compare hemp with cotton, not with trees; the claim about paper per acre compared with trees is not established here. The commercial translation has not followed at the scale he predicted.
