🏢 About the local organisation
The Associazione Orto Etico aims at the popularisation and education for a sustainable agriculture, the return and respect for nature. In particular in the Canavese area the cultivation of cannabis sativa was widespread. The Associazione Orto Etico and some partner Organic Farms recovered this old traditional plant especially emphasizing the nutritional properties of the seeds of cannabis sativa and their transformation. The project aims to raise awareness of the cannabis sativa from a cultural point of view (tradition) and also on its low environmental impact farming.
