#Hemp cultivation contributes to the European Green Deal objectives
Excerpts:
"Hemp has a number of #Environmental benefits.
- #CarbonStorage: one hectare of hemp sequesters 9 to 15 tonnes of CO2, similar to the amount sequestered by a young forest, but it only takes five months to grow.
- Breaking the cycle of diseases: hemp helps to break the cycle of diseases when used in #CropRotation. In addition, weeds are not able to grow due to the fast growth and shading capacity of hemp plants.
- #SoilErosion prevention: dense leaves of hemp become a natural soil cover, reducing water loss and protecting against soil erosion. Hemp covers the ground just three weeks after germination.
- #Biodiversity: flowering cycle usually occurs between July and September, coinciding with a lack of pollen production from other crops. Hemp produces large amounts of pollen. It also provides shelter for birds and hemp seeds are a food for animals.
- Low or no use of #pesticides: hemp is susceptible to few pests because of the lack of natural predators, which means that the use of #insecticides, #herbicides, and #fungicides can be avoided in most cases."
"Uses of hemp1. Textile industry (#HempFibre)
Hemp fibre is very similar to linen and the interest of the textile industry in using hemp fibre is growing. The European Commission, in its circular economy action plan, considers the textile sector as one of the cornerstones in the transition towards a greener and more sustainable economy and it has encouraged stakeholders to seek new materials and new economic models. To this end, the EU has adopted a strategy for sustainable and circular textiles aiming to create a more sustainable, innovative, circular economic model.
Hemp fibre and textile material
Hemp fibre is a sustainable raw material for the textile industry.2. Food and feed (#HempSeeds)
Hemp seeds contain high levels of protein and considerable amounts of fibres, vitamins, Omega-3, and minerals. As a result, de-hulled hemp seeds serve as a food for human consumption, while whole hemp seeds are used as feed for animals.
3. #Construction (#HempFibre)
There are three main hemp-based products used in construction: #lime hemp concrete (#hempcrete), #HempWool, and fibre-board insulation. The construction sector is responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of GHG emissions, and 75% of that energy goes to waste. This has led to a search for construction practices and materials that are carbon neutral or carbon sequesters. Hempcrete is a carbon sequester as the amount of carbon stored in the material is higher than the emissions generated during its production, and it continues to store carbon during the building’s life. Improving energy efficiency in the building sector will play a key role in achieving carbon-neutrality by 2050, a goal set out in the European Green Deal. Hemp can play a significant role in reaching this objective.
Hempcrete, hemp wool and fibre-board insulation are used in the construction sector due to their energy efficient properties.
4. #Paper production (hemp fibre)
There are multiple advantages to using hemp fibre to make paper: hemp stalks only take up to five months to mature, #HempPaper does not necessarily require toxic bleaching chemicals and hemp paper can be recycled seven to eight times.
Hemp fibre paper is a more sustainable alternative to paper made from wood pulp.
5. Other uses
Hemp-derived products are used in different industries and for different purposes. Negative environmental effects of plastic have pushed manufacturers to seek alternatives. Hemp is a good option given its light weight and durability. As a substitute for plastic, hemp-derived products are used in different sectors such as car manufacturing, railway, aviation and aerospace.
Other uses of hemp include #cosmetics (oils, lotions, shampoos, etc.) and energy production (#biofuels). There is also interest in the production and marketing of hemp extracts, notably cannabidiol (#CBD), due to its possible uses in cosmetics, health products and food. These possible uses are, however, subject to the relevant EU requirements. In November 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union determined that the marketing of legally produced CBD is permitted under EU law."

Turkey Mullein (Croton setiger) is toxic to some animals, but its seeds are eaten by birds. Several of its common names reflect the affinity of doves and wild turkeys for its seeds.

LOL what's the best way to attract squirrels and rats to your garden?

Why is it so hard to find birdseed made from native plants? This is literally the only option I've found so far:
https://livinglands.org/shop/native-wildflower-bird-seed-northeast-us
Is it that people are not growing native plants in sufficient quantities to feed them to birds instead of planting to grow more native plants? Does it not occur to people that birds help spread the seeds that they eat?

Ugh, I HATE this. I NEVER know which wine to get. Which wine pairs with sunflower seeds, millet, corn, dandelion greens, grass, AND worms?!? I wish they just TOLD me red, white, or rosé. I'm definitely tweeting about this later.

🎵 ...six mourning doves, five go-old riiings! 🎵
There's an audience of mourning doves every morning as I fill the bird feeders🐥🐦🕊

I just bought a 20kg bag of peanuts for our Blue jays 😲 . Will it last the winter? (If not, how long will it last?)

A squirrel or a bird dropped a kernel of corn and now we have one cornstalk growing near the side door. And there are two ears of corn! #corn #squirrels #birdseed #birds

The bird feeders are full. All except for the one little one that came with the pole that is too wide to put seed into without it all just falling out. I don’t know what’s supposed to go there. I’ll figure it out… someday.
The white plastic bowl looking thing is supposed to be full of water. I figured it would have rained by now because it always rains around here. We might get a thunderstorm tonight, so it should fill up then.

It's like the Wild Kingdom around here.
The squirrel and dove are playing nice, for now 😎I say "for now" because these two have a complicated history. What? You've never seen a mourning dove slap a squirrel with its wing? 😆

The saga continues.
Breakfast rush 😄
Mourning Dove stopped by for breakfast (pic #2) then had a nice sit in the sun (pic #1)

Mourning Dove stops by each night around 5pm for dinner.
It sits on the old chair & waits for us to put out a dish of seed. Then the dove jumps to the arm and flies over to the filled dish to dine.One question remains. Did we train the mourning dove or did the mourning dove train us? 🤔

Today @BuddiesOfBudgie, the organization behind the #BudgieDesktop and a global leader in pushing back major releases, announced it is forking publicly available Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and will develop and maintain a RHEL-compatible distribution available to all without restrictions. Over the average lifespan of a Budgerigar, Buddies of Budgie plans to invest more than 1 billion bird seeds into this project.
