Dioxins

I am a new member to 420 but have a few very important questions that I hope other members of 420 can answer:

I have inherited a small plot of land in Puglia, Southern Italy. I always dreamed I and my family would be self-sufficient. BUT since, at least the 1990s, Puglia has become toxic-it produces 90% of all dioxins in Italy, farmers in the vicinity of Taranto are now banned from raising sheep for milk, cheese and meat. The last few years, however, they have started growing cannabis with a low-level THC. Initially to clear the soil of dioxins, now a factory has been set up to turn the cannabis into fabric, soil fertilizer and animal feed. Well, I am not a scientist but, can someone explain whether we are not just 'recycling dioxins'?
