In the frame of a conference on hemp cultivation and utilization, organized by the University of Catania - Di3A, Archè (an University association) and Kanesis (a start-up), NARA project has been presented.

The conference washeld on 14 May 2016, at the “Dipartimento di Agricoltura, Alimentazione e Ambiente – Di3A”, Catania, Italy. Although the conference dealt with industrial hemp, it was decided to advertise NARA since several young farmers were attending it.

Indeed, young farmers not only attended the conference because attracted by a renewed interest in hemp cultivation and utilization, but most of them are keen to new systems and open to introduce agricultural innovation in their own farm, which is the main goal of NARA.

The latest NARA newsletter has also been spread during the conference day.
