Growing Back to Organic

by Coyuchi, made in conjunction with Solidaridad in The Netherlands

A great story of commitment to an organic future -- with benefits for the producers and for you. It's an upbeat and hopeful story of one farmer's and one village's move to organic and Fair Trade certified cotton production. It shows how the village of Peddasakeda made the decision to go back to the organic practices of earlier generations and explains the benefits and opportunities organic growing and Fair Trade certification offer.

Yes, the middlemen - the thugs who actually 'reap the harvest'. These rots should be send to fields to work.

I am so glad to see these farmers going back to organic cotton and also fair trade. When you see all the problems that conventional farming causes for these people and the environment anyone with any sense can see that conventional methods just aren't worth it. I hope more of the farmers growing cotton will adopt these methods as it is better for everyone.
