In 2014, El Tamiso decided to stop marketing some foreign products: ginger, turmeric, Goji berries, chia seeds and quinoa, etc.

The Ecotypes project stems from the impetus given by Vandana Shiva's visit a few years ago.

For many years, El Tamiso has supported the work and activities of associations, cooperatives, farms that work ethically in difficult territories such as those controlled by the mafias.

The project stems from the request of young families returning from the hamlet of Osmace, a Muslim village located in the mountains around Srebrenica (Bosnia and Herzegovina), to find the source of livelihood for their family income in agriculture.

On October 12, 2014, Vandana Shiva was a guest of El Tamiso on a day of celebration and study of the themes of biodiversity and care for the territory and the environment.

What is the right price for a jar of tomato puree? or for a jar of honey? El Tamiso, in collaboration with the Biorekk association, Aiab Veneto and Icea, has tried to answer these questions through the LET'S APPRECIATE IT project.
