Filière agroindustriali in Toscana: oli e prodotti da colture oleaginose organici

The COBRAF project promotes sustainable cultivation of four oleaginous crops—hemp, flax, safflower, and camelina—in Tuscany, focusing on organic certification, low carbon footprint, and high-value products. Market research confirms strong demand for organic Tuscan oils and byproducts, with premium pricing potential (€4.00–10.00). Lifecycle analysis identifies diesel use and organic fertilizers as major emission sources, while hemp-based construction materials offer long-term carbon sequestration. The project develops eco-friendly products including organic oils, natural dyes, non-toxic adhesives, and hemp-based building materials, supported by new infrastructure and technologies.
