For the first-time, manufacturers, producers, processors, and agricultural scientists in North America began to take a significant look at hemp as an agricultural crop and alternative fiber.

That diverse coalition starts using the term industrial hemp (or simply hemp) to refer specifically to low-THC non-psychoactive varieties of Cannabis sativa. The aim of the commercial hemp activity is to investigate the environmental advantages of hemp and to allow genuine production of hemp fiber crops as a substitute fiber, pulp, and oil supply.
