This book highlights the positive and negative impacts that hemp fibre and textiles have on environment, while studying the effects of climate change on the growth of fibre hemp. Human-induced climate change challenge the availability of textile fibres, whereas today's apparel industry leaves behind a substantial environmental footprint. Sustainable hemp textiles can lighten it. The book describes the environmental impact of hemp and how climate change influences future hemp growth. Hemp is considered in most literature as a sustainable alternative for the commonly used fibres polyester and cotton. However, most research does not go farther than the environmental impacts of hemp, and there is currently a lack of knowledge/literature that examines the possibilities of hemp growth under changing climate conditions.

Fieke Dhondt graduated Cum Laude with a BSc in Fashion and Textile Technologies at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute and continued studying for MSc Sustainable Business and Innovation at the Faculty of Geosciences at Utrecht University.

Furthermore, she contributed to a new sustainability strategy for a multinational by conducting research in Bangladesh, China and Hong Kong.
