Read the Yahoo news story on Paul McCartney farming hemp, with an interview with Peter Miles of eHempHouse.
Hemp, there and everywhere: Why Sir Paul McCartney is farming the latest trend

Hemp is a plant that comes from the same species as cannibis.
Steven Putter, who heads our pilot farm in Africa, was recently interviewed on the BBC World Service talking about the SmartBox™ mobile hemp processing factory. Some talking points:
• The SmartBox™ encourages farmers to grow harvest process and sell more hemp products.
• The SmartBox™ addresses one of the two problems that African farmers have. Water and irrigation, and the lack of processing facilities. By bringing the SmartBox™ factory right into the cultivation area, power and hemp processing are right where they are needed.
• The SmartBox™ collects agricultural data to get a better overview for the farming community. It also acts as a CO2 sequestration meter, providing real-time data to the carbon markets and our partners.
• With all the environmentally friendly products that can be processed from hemp, the crop is a natural and organic way of creating a whole new decarbonized industrial base. This will drive environmentally sustainable development across Africa.
eHempHouse is proud to announce we've filed two new patents for our Smartbox™ hemp processing factory! This is a collaboration between our founder Andy Neal and many other talented folks.
eHempHouse is honored to have been selected for this amazing opportunity to get involved with COP26, the UN Climate Change Conference.
We’re very excited to be among such a diverse field of candidates, and look forward to telling those at COP26 how the Smartbox™ is unique, and how we’re going to use it to build a sustainable future.
