CottonConnect's work with cotton farmers in Gujurat (India) as a case study
Dive into the heart of India's cotton fields where a transformation is underway. In this revealing documentary, we explore the shift towards regenerative agriculture in the cotton industry, and ask if it’s a change that can work for smallholder farmers. How can these sustainable practices not only improve the soil and increase farmers' yields but also promise a more ethical and transparent supply chain from soil to shirt? And can the progress being made be defended against the negative impact of climate change?
This webinar, using CottonConnect's work with cotton farmers in Gujurat as a case study discussed:
The challenges that remain in the cotton industry, and the potential for regenerative agriculture as a solution
How best to work with local partners on the ground to implement regenerative programmes
What are transferable lessons for regenerative transformation in the cotton sector globally
