Newest firstCultured meat (CM) is a promising alternative to conventional livestock production. However, its scalability is limited by the reliance on fetal bovine serum (FBS) in cell culture media (CCM). This study investigated protein hydrolysates derived from hemp flowers (HFs), hempseeds (HSs), hempseed protein (HP), shrimp (SH), and blue crab (BC) co-products as sustainable CCM supplements. Hydrolysates were produced by…
Open article record in new tab ↗Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) has emerged as a sustainable source of bioactive compounds, with increasing interest in cosmeceutical applications for acne management. This systematic review synthesises evidence on cannabinoid-containing hemp extracts, particularly cannabidiol (CBD), with emphasis on anti-inflammatory and sebostatic mechanisms, alongside formulation considerations and supply-chain sustainabil…

ObjectivesTo assess awareness, knowledge, perceptions, and utilisation of reusable menstrual products among female medical students and healthcare professionals, and to identify predictors of willingness and use. Des…
Open article record in new tab ↗Consumers are increasingly attracted to innovative, gourmand, and sustainable food products. This has led to a growing interest in flavored olive oils through co-milling processing. This study explores the production and characterization of flavored olive oils obtained by co-milling olives with orange pomace, black pepper, and hemp seeds, aiming to enhance their sensory and compositional properties while promoting…
Open article record in new tab ↗Nowadays, the research in the field of building materials revolves around the basic principles of sustainability, environmental protection, circular economy and proper management of natural and financial resources. In this context, the current study aimed to implement several biomaterials of diverse species and geometry into cement mortar mixtures and to evaluate their physical, mechanical and hydrothermal propert…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction Agricultural intensification has boosted global food supply but has also driven deforestation, soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and greenhouse gas emissions, posing critical sustainability challenges. In response, alternative practices such as agroforestry have emerged, yet few long-term experimental systems exist that integrate high biodiversity with commercial perennial crops. Over 25 years, we…
Biomass residues represent a major issue for industries. On the other hand, residues enclosed major classes of bioactive compounds that could be extracted and used across various fields. This study aimed to elucidate the role of the endogenous microbial community in the lignocellulosic degradation of hemp residues for biorefineries or other industrial processes, simultaneously characterizing the composition of thr…
This study explores the production and valorization of hemp seed cake protein concentrate (HPC) as a functional ingredient to enhance the nutritional quality and sensory attributes of choux pastry products, specifically éclairs. By integrating varied concentrations of HPC (0%, 1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) into traditional formulations, the physicochemical properties, proximate composition, amino acid profile, and se…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction: Social sustainability is deeply connected to the well-being of marginalized groups, and it is important to highlight how mental health impacts the social inclusion of homeless individuals, particularly veterans. Homelessness is a growing global issue, disproportionately affecting U.S. veterans, with mental health challenges playing a significant role in its onset and perpetuation. Purpose: This study…
Open article record in new tab ↗ObjectivesTo determine whether neurorehabilitation can be enhanced through regional implementation of group-based telerehabilitation, we implemented the NeuroRehabilitation OnLine (NROL) innovation regionally and evaluated scale-up from a systems perspective. DesignObservational, exploratory evaluation using a mixed methods convergent parallel design. SettingStroke and neurological rehabilitation services from fou…
Global health initiatives have expanded access to treatment for infectious diseases - especially HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria (HTM) - in low- and middle-income countries. However, these "vertically"-funded programs often operate within fragile health systems, where workforce shortages and supply chain failures constrain their effectiveness and sustainability 1,2. Meanwhile, evaluating the health impact and value…
This study investigated the utilization of innovative green composites made from hemp shiv, a waste by-product of hemp cultivation, with the aim of promoting sustainability within the construction industry. The manufacturing method involved the application of pressure in a mold to create the samples. These materials were produced using an environmentally friendly binder consisting of colophony, arabic gum, and cor…
Open article record in new tab ↗Given the rapid growth of the Cannabis industry, developing practices for producing young plants with limited genetic variation and efficient growth is crucial to achieving reliable and successful cultivation results. This study presents a multi-faceted experiment series analyzing propagation techniques for evaluating proficiency in the growth and development of Cannabis vegetative cuttings. This research encompas…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundReducing low-value care (LVC) and improving healthcares climate readiness are critical factors to improve the sustainability of health systems across the globe. Care practices that have been deemed low or no value, in effect, generate carbon emissions, waste and pollution without improving patient or population health. There is nascent, but growing, research and evaluation to inform practice change focus…
Open article record in new tab ↗In the era of SDGs, useful plants which provide valuable industrial outputs and at the same time pose less impact on the environment should be explored. Hemp seems one of the most relevant gluten-free crop plants to meet such requirements. Its high nutritional value is comparable to soy. Moreover, almost the whole body of the hemp plant has a wide array of utility: industrial production of food, fiber, and constru…
Open article record in new tab ↗As a result of the increasing focus on alternative protein sources which are ideally still sustainable, the yellow mealworm, Tenebrio molitor, has come into focus. To verify its suitability as a food source in relation to human health, an analysis of the microbiome of larvae of T. molitor is pertinent. Subsequently, the focus of this study was, on the one hand, to analyze the influence of the substrate on the micr…
Hemp seed cake (HSC) (Cannabis sativa L.) is a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, high-quality proteins and essential amino acids. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary inclusion of HSC on growth performance, meat quality traits, fatty acids profile and oxidative status, and intestinal morphology in slow-growing broilers. A total of 180 male slow-growing broilers were randomly assig…
Global warming as a result of climate change has become a major concern for people all over the world. It has recently drawn the attention of the entire conscious community, with the fear that if not addressed properly, it will result in the extinction of numerous species around the world. At the same time, it will pose a threat to human health, food security, living environment and standard of living. Thereby, po…
Open article record in new tab ↗Lignin is a natural light-coloured ultraviolet (UV) absorber; however, conventional extraction processes usually darken its colour and could be detrimental to its UV-shielding ability. In this study, a sustainable way of fabricating lignin-cellulose nanocrystals (L-CNCs) from hemp hurd is proposed. A homogeneous morphology of the hemp particles was achieved by ball milling, and L-CNCs with high aspect ratio were o…
