BEYOND ORGANIC

Regenerative Organic Cotton

Agriculture with industrial techniques and toxic chemicals contributes to about 25% of greenhouse emissions every year. Farmers are exploited and rural economies suffer. We at RCM believe that Regenerative Organic Agriculture is the path forward. It focusses on maintaining top soil-health, fair conditions for farmers and farmworkers and ensures the humane treatment of animals.
