OCA creates cotton curriculum for Turkish farmers
The Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA) has launched a training resource for Turkish farmers, with the aim of regenerating soils, improving productivity and building sustainable livelihoods.
The Organic Cotton Training Curriculum for Turkey gathers good practices in organic cotton farming and adapts them to Turkey’s soils, climate and growing conditions.
For the first time, it includes a module on regenerative agriculture, offering farmers guidance on rebuilding soil fertility, supporting biodiversity and strengthening long-term farm resilience.
The launch follows OCA’s entrance into Turkey in 2024, when the organisation established a local presence to unite stakeholders across the value chain.
