Conventional cotton farming
is one of agriculture's most environmentally destructive activities. It
takes an enormous toll on the air, water and soil and adversely affects the
health of people living in cotton growing areas. Producing one
conventional cotton t-shirt uses about 150 grammes of acutely toxic chemicals -
enough to fill a tea-cup.
Conversely, organic farming methods benefit communities and the environment alike by promoting agricultural stability as a result of crop rotation, minimising pollution of the water table, preventing potentially fatal pesticide poisoning of agrarian communities, improving biodiversity and animal welfare.
