Hemp Yuga is an initiative to educate people on the Wonder Plant hemp, a solution to numerous issues our earth is facing. Founded by journalist Anuradha Prasad in 2023, the platform is dedicated to providing information and updates on the uses of Hemp, a category of Cannabis or Bhang.
Unlike cannabis, hemp is a non-recreational plant that has a very low level of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the compound responsible for intoxication. It also contains Cannabidiol (CBD) which has medicinal properties and helps in the treatment of seizures, anxiety, insomnia, joint pain, epilepsy, and inflammation.
From root to seed, each part of the plant can be used in making thousands of products including fibers, medicines, biofuels, plastic substitutes, protein powder, and building houses. Not only does it take less water and only several months to grow, but hemp also absorbs around 1000 tons of carbon dioxide per hectare, which can help fight climate change.
Hemp Yuga is dedicated to reaching out to authorities and people to spread the word that this plant alone can help achieve most of the sustainable development goals set by the United Nations by providing employment, female empowerment, health, saving water, and much more.
Our mission is to educate the population through our multiple channels about the difference between the notorious Bhang and its cousin Hemp, a non-recreational plant that can help millions of people in the mountain regions in terms of employment and sustainability.
Hemp is said to have been used in the making of thousands of products including fibers, medicines, building materials, and much more. The most significant aspect of the crop is its capability to grow fast and consume less water compared to cotton plants.
This plant can turn into a wonder-saving earth if given the opportunity as it not only can replace plastic to a surprising extent, but its capability to absorb huge amounts of carbon dioxide from the environment can be a boon for Mother Earth, which has been facing a climate crisis for the past several decades.
