Hemp protein from AlpenPionier
What is this project all about?
We bring hemp as food back to our plates!
In Graubünden the hemp cultivation has a long tradition and was widespread until the 1930s. Hemp - as an ancient cultivated plant in Europe - does not live up to it’s fullest potential in our region.

What is the project goal and who is the project for?
Hemp needs to come back to the Alps, back on to our plates and this ancient European crop needs to be part of our daily diet again.

Why would you support this project?
If you also want to support a young group of highly motivated lateral thinkers with recultivating hemp in Switzerland, we are very much looking forward to your support.
With your support, we can put together a processing line in Switzerland and thus offer the first high-percent hemp protein "100% Made in Switzerland". You are helping to build up a food production in Switzerland and in the long term enable us to create new jobs in our region.
How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?
In order to finally realize the hemp processing with the necessary equipment and bring it to the market, we have to create infrastructures for which we still need financial resources. With the help of financing we will buy machines for the production of the protein powder in order to realize the production of the AlpenProtein in a grand style.
The manufacturing process is solid. Strong partners and universities in Zurich (ZHAW) and Chur (HTW) support us in … Mehr anzeigen
