Research reveals sustainability benefits of Fairtrade organic cotton
A study unveiled at the International Fairtrade Textile Forum in Paris said Fairtrade cotton in India is “associated with better environmental outcomes”.
Commissioned by Fairtrade India, the study was conducted in six of the top cotton-producing states in India and was designed to detect differences between farms that are Fairtrade and organic certified, farms that are non-Fairtrade and using conventional methods, and some variations in between.
