Growing food and fiber with industrial techniques has devastated our climate. That’s why we’re supporting farms working toward the highest organic standard, Regenerative Organic. These practices reduce greenhouse gas emissions and could help trap more carbon than conventional agriculture.
These practices help build healthy soil that could help draw down more carbon from the atmosphere than conventional methods. To do this, farmers use a range of methods that have been around for millennia.
Organic farming means no synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms, antibiotics or growth hormones.
Farmers grow cover crops in addition to their cash crop to help increase soil organic matter, sequester carbon in the soil and reduce erosion.
Farmers use waste from the farm and convert it into compost, which acts as a natural fertilizer and pesticide for soil.
A systematic approach where crop varieties are rotated from one year to the next.
Planting multiple types of crops closely together can produce greater yields and improve soil health over time.
Tilling is a common practice that involves digging, stirring and overturning soil. Reducing the need for this practice can help soil retain more water and organic matter and potentially store more carbon.
In 1996, we decided to use organic cotton exclusively in our line. We’ve taken our farming efforts even further by supporting farmers to grow cotton using Regenerative Organic practices.
