CHALLENGES
SOLUTIONS
UNFAIR GLOBAL MARKET
Subsidies in the west result in artificially low cotton prices making it difficult for cotton farmers to fight their way out of poverty.
PRESERVED ECOSYSTEM
Only biological fertilizers and natural pesticides can be used to grow organic cotton, all processes (e.g. dyeing & printing) must be environmentally friendly.
WATER CONTAMINATION
Usage of hazardous chemicals pollutes natural water reserves.
WATER CONSERVATION
Growing organic means cleaner rivers and and help prevent pollution of ground water. This is key to preserve both thriving wildlife and biodiversity.
SOIL EXHAUSTION
Conventional farming impoverishes agricultural land, hurting prospects for future cotton production hence the livelihood of cotton farmers.
HEALTHY SOIL
Organic farming rebuilds soil and improves water absorption, preventing times of water shortage and make farmers less vulnerable to climate change.
