According to the Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030), a key factor to ensure a better and more sustainable future for all is the promotion of different food production systems. Nowadays, agriculture is one of the most impactful sec-tors for the environmental pollution. Moreover, diet choices have direct influence on our ecological footprint. A literature review is presented with a focus on the challenges of hemp cultivation sustainability, innovations and market of hemp food products.

Keywords:Sustainable agriculture, hemp, food, life cycle assessment, hemp market, climate change
