“…The theory of planned behavior has been applied extensively to food choice (Ahmed et al, 2022;Ajzen, 2016;Khan et al, 2022;Kuran and Mihic, 2014;Scalco et al, 2017), proenvironmental behaviors (Biasini et al, 2023;Gansser and Reich, 2023;Lavuri, 2022;Srivastava et al, 2023;Teixeira et al, 2022;Yuriev et al, 2020), health behaviors (Cho et al, 2023;Lareyre et al, 2021;Limbu et al, 2022;Riebl et al, 2015;Shanka and Gebremariam Kotecho, 2023), and hospitality (Chen et al, 2023;Fauzi et al, 2022;Ulker-Demirel and Ciftci, 2020). It has also been applied to behaviors related to marijuana with medicinal or recreational purposes (Earle et al, 2020;Fiegel and Frank, 2023;Pepper et al, 2020;Tripathi and Kumar, 2022), though we only identify a single study at time of publication that use TPB in the context of hemp-based products without tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the compound that produces psychoactive effects (World Health Organization, 2018). Metcalf et al (2021a, b) examine the adoption of newly legalized hemp food among Australian consumers and find that subjective norm is the greatest indicator of hemp food consumption.…”

“…The legalization of hemp in the United States offers a unique opportunity for farmers and entrepreneurs to explore hemp-based value-added products. Hemp’s prospects as an agronomically sustainable crop and plant-based, renewable input (Ahmed et al ., 2022; Ely et al ., 2022b; Tripathi and Kumar, 2022) are amplified by its versatility as a food (Adesina et al ., 2020; Ciano et al ., 2022; Pihlanto et al ., 2017), textile and fiber (Bouloc and van der Werf, 2013; Montford and Small, 1999), medicine (Adesina et al ., 2020; Thompson et al ., 1998), polymer alternative (Ahmed et al ., 2022; Filimonova et al ., 2022), and biofuel (Das et al ., 2017). However, the sector faces several barriers, including a lack of information on market potential and consumer interest to guide producers navigating this nascent sector.…”

PurposeThis paper examines how U.S. consumer intentions to adopt hemp vary across product types using the theory of planned behavior (TPB).Design/methodology/approachData were collected via an online survey of U.S. residents in 2022 (n = 1,948). Two-step structural equation modeling is used to examine how TPB constructs and background factors influence intent to use five different hemp-based products: cannabidiol (CBD), clothing, food, personal care products, and pet products. Data are analyzed using R.FindingsPositive attitudes towards all categories of hemp-based products increase the probability of adoption, while subjective norm and perceived behavioral control have limited and varied significant influence across product models. Age has a consistent significant and negative influence on adoption.Research limitations/implicationsFindings highlight consumer segmentation and marketing opportunities, inform hemp stakeholder decision-making, and provide directions for future research. Given the absence of explanatory power of SN and PBC on most product models and the diversity of products and nuanced U.S. hemp policy, future research could investigate expanded iterations of TPB. Using revealed behavior could also highlight potential intention-behavior gaps and offer more robust insights for hemp stakeholders.Originality/valueFindings contribute to a limited body of information on markets and consumer demand for hemp in the U.S.

“…Additionally, it was also noted that hemp has a wide range of uses, including the construction industry, automotive, plastics, high-quality absorbents, paper, agriculture, personal cleaning, and healthcare. However, the development of these plants has as its specific goals the extraction of drugs, crude oil, and fiber [27,28]. Non-edible oil made from industrial-grade hempseeds has recently become quite important for nations.…”

This study focuses on the optimization of biodiesel synthesis using non-edible hempseed oil as the feedstock. The Response Surface method was used to find the best methanol:oil molar ratio, catalyst concentration, reaction temperature, and reaction duration for the transesterification process. The center composite design experimental design was used to make the design. A total of 30 cycles were conducted to adjust the four parameters at five different levels in order to optimize the biodiesel production process. It was found that the best conditions for transesterification of hempseed oil were a KOH catalyst concentration of 0.80 wt%, a molar ratio of 7.41:1, a reaction time of 62.83 minutes, and a reaction temperature of 61.92 °C. Under these optimized reaction conditions, the predicted biodiesel yield was 95.57%, while the experimental yield was 95.24%. The biodiesel produced using the optimized parameters was analyzed for its properties, and the findings demonstrated that it met the requirements of EN14214, a standard for biodiesel quality. The optimization of the biodiesel synthesis process using non-edible hempseed oil contributes to the exploration of alternative and sustainable feedstocks for biodiesel production. The values of the produced biodiesel within the standard range demonstrate its suitability for commercial applications and strengthen the potential of hemp seed oil as a suitable raw material for biodiesel production.

Modeling hemp as an innovative input: an application of the diffusion of innovations in a sample of hemp aware consumers

et al. 2023

After decades of absence, the federal legalization of hemp in the U.S. positions the crop as an innovative, plant-based input for conventional products. Through an application of the diffusion of innovations theory, this study responds to identified research needs made by hemp stakeholders and the existing literature by modeling the influence of innovation characteristics on propensity to use hemp products among Vermont consumers. Findings reveal that attributes associated with relative advantage and trialability significantly influence propensity to use at least one type of hemp product, as well as use multiple types of hemp products. This highlights particularly salient points for hemp stakeholders engaged in the marketing and communication of hemp products. Findings contribute to informed strategy creation for producers, institutions, and other stakeholders operating in this nascent industry, where data and research continue to be limited.
