I've been casually investigating hemp as a carbon fixer, as a hobby. I think paired with bamboo it could provide both sustainable materials for much of life's needs along with a terrific ability to fix atmospheric carbon. If nothing else the plant material can be bio-charred upon post-harvest and processing.

Also been looking at bamboo and hemp for things like water/soil/air purification, though it's all very casual.

We can also use hemp for nutrition, clothing, building materials, paper among many other things. Yes, grow this plant on an industrial scale all over the planet.
