The chapter focuses on hemp gardens cultivated in different niches in the Susa valley, in the Italian Western Alps. Economically and politically tied to Turin, this region has been grappling with a decades-long decline in industrial development. The Susa Valley is well known in Italy for the controversial infrastructure project of a new railway line between Turin and Lyon that has raised enduring opposition. I explore this context through the lens of hemp cultivation, which has emerged over the past decade. Looking at three hemp gardens in the Susa valley, I describe local efforts to rebuild a local economy that is socially and ecologically more ethical and capable of generating new forms of employment. Hemp gardens reveal the economic and ecological differences across which hemp grows: the ski and tourism industry of upper lands, the polluted soils of (post)industrial lower valley, and small-scale agricultures. Various social actors gather around these gardens, brought together by the shared project of “hemp supply chains” that integrate cultivation and processing. I study the characteristics of this project, its difficulties, and its political-economic and political-ecological significance. This ethnographic analysis allows me to critically highlight certain elements central to the study of alternative supply chain projects alongside dominant forms of capitalism.
