Feasibility study on employment opportunities in hemp cultivation and industrial processing - Research company 
Following the results obtained from the experimental project for hemp cultivation (EU initiative Leader II - Action 4.1), which show how the use of hemp for industrial purposes can lead to new productive interventions with an increase in employment, the feasibility study aimed at:
- identifying possible professional and employment opportunities in the traditional industrial sectors of the Southern part of the Province of Ferrara, as the textile and clothing sector, but also in other different sectors as cosmetics, timber, paper, etc that could use natural fibres as hemp and linen;
- defining a programme and an action plan to support professional training.
This feasibility study will help defining guidelines to start up a workshop for an environmental-friendly line of the Po delta, including its methods and contents.
