“…An alternative to single-use fiber production is the dual-purpose production of seeds and stems, which is currently the main production strategy in Europe and more suitable variety have 'Futura 75' [20] from varies what included in study. But from these results were identified genotype more suitable for dual purposes of the new line KA-2-2011 with and more highest stem yield and seed yield.…”

Varieties grown for fibre-only will be established, managed and harvested differently than varieties grown for seeds or dual-purpose. The aim was analysed yield productivity and length of vegetation period dependency of the two types of hemp variety and identified perspective hemp variety for highest yield under different meteorological conditions in Latvia. Varieties/line from diverse European and Latvian origin (seed hemp varieties/ line 'Adzelvieši', 'Pūriņi', KA-2-2011, 'Finola', 'Henola' and fibre hemp varieties 'USO 31', 'Futura 75', 'Austa') were sown in randomized field experiments in Latvia. Biomass, stem, seed yield, fibre contents and vegetation period length were assessed across tree growing seasons from 2020 to 2022. Results show that hemp, seeds and fibre varieties/line, performed well giving high yield productivity between variety. Agrometeorological conditions for hemp growth and yield were favourable in 2022. In Latvian local climatic conditions, the seed hemp line KA-2-2011 and fibre hemp variety ‘Futura 75’ identified significant higher of biomass and stem yield as well as the seed hemp variety ‘Henola’ and fibre hemp variety ‘Austa’ significant higher of seed yield and fibre contents. The yield potential dependent from length of vegetation period length. The trial analyses identified positive and significant correlations between length of vegetation period and biomass (r = 0.97), stem yield (r = 0.98), and negative between length of vegetation period and seed yield (r = -0.89).

“…As a multi‐purpose crop, hemp is of high interest for the bioeconomy since it can serve as feedstock for a plethora of biobased products, including long‐ and short‐fibre materials, oil‐ and protein‐based products and pharmaceuticals. In their review article, Blandinières and Amaducci (2022) show that hemp is a species that can be considered particularly susceptible to adverse conditions, especially in terms of soil characteristics and dry climates. With the exception of thallium, heavy metal contaminations do not appear to severely limit hemp's productivity, but might affect its economic viability due to limitations in marketing the produce.…”

“…Projections indicate that by 2030, approximately 11% of the EU’s agricultural land will face a high or very high potential risk of abandonment, while the conversion of abandoned land back to agriculture is expected to be negligible at 0.11% [ 2 ]. Land marginalization and abandonment have wide implications, including a general loss of local biodiversity [ 3 ], as well as social and environmental problems in areas with few economic alternatives [ 4 ]. Although the utilization of marginal lands for conventional agriculture is often economically inconvenient, marginal lands are frequently essential for the conservation of such ecosystem services as biodiversity, soil protection, climate regulations, especially in the context of a warming climate [ 5 ].…”

“…To prevent marginal land abandonment, we need a proactive approach able to provide alternative perspectives and uses [ 6 ]. Marginal lands, unsuitable for conventional crops, have great potential for transformation [ 1 ], and recultivating these lands provides opportunities for diversification and high-quality productions [ 4 , 7 ]. Marginal and abandoned areas can thus be used to test unconventional development models and creative ideas for innovative forms of entrepreneurship, contributing to the balanced development of rural areas by enhancing their unique territorial characteristics [ 8 ].…”

Agricultural diversification and high-quality products deriving from sustainable crops such as hemp can represent a solution to revitalize marginal areas and reverse land abandonment. This study aimed at comparing four different hemp cultivars (Carmagnola Selezionata, “CS”; Futura 75, “FUT”; Felina 32, “FEL”; Secuieni Jubileu, “JUB”) to provide information to select the best suited cultivar for cultivation in mountain marginal areas and for specific end-use applications. Hemp cultivars were cultivated in a single experimental field to compare their ecological and agronomic behavior (duration of life cycle phases, plant size and biomass allocation, and plant resource-use strategies). Through metabolomic analysis of both vegetative and reproductive parts of the plants we tested the presence of substances of nutraceutical interest and traced seed nutritional profile. The four cultivars had different ecological and agronomic behavior, and nutritional profile. We found several compounds with potential pharmaceutical and nutraceutical values in all parts of the plant (leaves, inflorescences, and stems). JUB resulted the most suitable for seed production while CS showed the highest content of bioactive compounds in flowers and leaves. FUT, showed the best suitability for multi-purpose cultivation, while FEL seemed to be not appropriate for the cultivation in mountain area. The multi-disciplinary approach we adopted was effective in distinguish across hemp cultivars and provided information to farmers for the selection of the best hemp cultivar to select. Hemp had a high potential for cultivation in marginal lands, demonstrating to be an economic resource due to its multi-purpose use and to the possibility to generate high-added values products. Our results could serve as a stimulus for the reintroduction of this culture in the study area and in other similar environments.
