Climate-Smart Cotton through a Sustainable and Innovative Supply Chain Approach
This project will expand climate-smart cotton markets and implement methods to restore soil and ecosystem health in cotton production through regenerative farming and best practices based on specific regions and needs. The project plans to create tools focused on small and underserved producers for communications, climate smart educational materials, outreach/educational activities, and engagement on farm for data collection and practice implementation.
The project plans to enroll women and minority farmers. The project plans to work with partners, farmers, and brands to further intensify and target cooperation with clients around the purchase and sale of climate-smart cotton, as well as the development of long-term strategies and agreements progressing the market for climate-smart cotton in a way which is economically sustainable for all value chain players – from farmer to consumer.
