Cotton producers go organic
The decline of cotton production has forced poor people in parts of India to either migrate to find alternative work or to face a dramatic drop in living standards. The downward spiral has been caused by many factors but one common denominator is the over-use of pesticides. Toxins have penetrated the soil, making huge swathes of land infertile.
Traidcraft helps poor cotton farmers like Durgamma by training them in organic production methods. By producing natural fertilizers and pesticides, Durgamma has improved her family’s income, the environment in which she works and the future of cotton faming in their region.

In Rajastan, India, we are working with small textile businesses to ensure sustainable production through eco-friendly practices, reducing water wastage and promoting organic textiles. Through a range of approaches we aim to address poor pay for textile workers, inadequate working conditions and preservation of the environment through eco-friendly working practices.
