🏢 About the local organisation
The Associazione Orto Etico (www.ortoetico.it) 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.
