Cover Story: Climate change is causing an increase in drought and water shortages, so it is essential to introduce alternative crops to develop strategies for sustainable water management and for understanding plant functional responses to soil erosion and contamination. Industrial hemp cultivation has the potential to be an environmentally friendly and highly sustainable crop that excludes any chemical substance with positive effects in terms of erosion and desertification of the land and the environment in general. Its reintroduction in marginal areas contributes to improving the socio-economic resilience and to optimising the use of natural resources for sustainable agricultural management. From the results, there is a good agreement between the field outcomes in terms of water stress and its effects on hemp crop vigour. View this paper
