H is for Hemp – Limited Collector’s Edition Book

This globally researched encyclopedic volume on industrial hemp, set in the broader context of climate change challenges, was uniquely produced on specially developed hemp paper—a first of its kind for digital inkjet book printing!

Featuring stunning pictures, compelling stories, expert interviews, and graphics, this book enhances the knowledge of innovators, entrepreneurs, scientists, and enthusiasts who are currently leading the modern hemp revolution. It reveals how hemp can help create a system reset in today’s world.

Maren Krings, the author, photojournalist, and climate impact storyteller, continued her travels even after the book’s publication. In total she has since visited 34 countries on four continents, continuing to cover developments in the global hemp industry. The book comprises over 200 hemp projects and more than 80 interviews with industry experts. Krings intersperses her text with diarized and often amusing anecdotes that reflect her personal and fascinating journey to the final production of “H is for Hemp.”

Since 2022, Krings has expanded her storytelling to include film, continuing her documentation of industrial hemp within the broader context of the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Her inaugural short documentary, produced in Ukraine, explores the potential of carbon-negative reconstruction with hemp-lime material in post-war settings and responses to natural disasters.
