Hemp and flax case

As introduced earlier, acreage data on hemp and flax from Eurostat is used to develop and compare different models and modeling approaches. Hemp and flax have several purposes in the bioeconomy. In construction they are used as insulation material, whereas hemp is also used in lime-hemp concrete (LHC). Moreover, hemp and flax fibres are used for textiles and paper. Flax fibres are also used in parts for the automotive industry.
