We\u2019re pushing for plant fibers that prioritize soil health, water, and biodiversity.<\/h3>\n

We\u2019re working to help the fashion and textiles industry switch to materials that have less of an impact on people and the natural world. For plant fibers, this means going beyond greenhouse gas emissions to look at how production practices impact soil health, water, and biodiversity.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Certification to a program such as Textile Exchange\u2019s Organic Content Standard is a good starting point. For non-organic production, brands should still adhere to practices that support Textile Exchange\u2019s Climate+<\/a> strategy, which calls for a 45% reduction in the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that come from producing fibers and raw materials by 2030, while also supporting the interdependent impact areas of biodiversity, soil health, and water quality and availability. This information can be shared with consumers whether online or on-product.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

To grow any organic crop, the land must go through a conversion period first, from the beginning of the conversion to organic management practices to the certification of crops as organic. The conversion period is usually two to three years, during which time farmers establish new organic management systems.<\/p>\n

There is no single definition of regenerative agriculture and no one-size-fits-all solution. Regenerative agriculture takes a holistic systems approach that puts humans and ecosystems at its core, and has documented benefits related to biodiversity, water availability and quality, climate resilience, and livelihoods. Textile Exchange suggests that regenerative programs do not include the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n
