It\u2019s early August, and the local factory workers are going about their day-to-day jobs. Their facility processes fruits and plants for organic farms around the region of Par\u00e1, a Brazilian state that sits nestled on the Amazon rainforest\u2019s northeastern edge. You can feel the jungle breathing into the community as children play in a stream that\u2019s no doubt linked to the Amazon basin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this factory, there\u2019s none of the rust, steel, or men one might imagine. Instead, bright teal walls and two towering doorways stand over 10 feet tall. Inside, the floors are dotted with dried-out shells of tucum\u00e3 fruit. Four women are hard at work, laughing and smiling as they prepare the fruit to be turned into oil for skincare products. \u201cHaving women working here is marvelous,\u201d Eliete Nunes, lead producer at the factory whose hands are covered in black sticky pulp and shells from the fruit, said in Portuguese through a translator. \u201cFarming gives meaning to our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the beauty of Cooperativa D\u2019Irituia, the farm cooperative that owns and runs the factory. It\u2019s women-led. And in a few short months, this safe space will be devoid of tucum\u00e3 fruit, which grows on native palm trees. In its place, the factory will be full of organic cotton \u2013 where machines will gin the fiber and shape it into bales to transport.<\/p>\n\n\n<section id=\"page-block-block_68bd303ff8cb2becbade41dc96c113d3\" class=\"acf-block block-img-comp\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row fluid-two-small\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"aspectratio ratio-16x9 block-img-single small-top\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"711\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-29-711x474.jpg\" class=\"attachment-standard-width-block size-standard-width-block\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-29-711x474.jpg 711w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-29-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-29-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-29-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-29-335x223.jpg 335w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-29-711x474@2x.jpg 1422w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-29-720x480@2x.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-29-900x600@2x.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-29-335x223@2x.jpg 670w\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"aspectratio ratio-16x9 block-img-single small-bottom\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"711\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-32-711x474.jpg\" class=\"attachment-standard-width-block size-standard-width-block\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-32-711x474.jpg 711w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-32-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-32-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-32-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-32-335x223.jpg 335w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-32-711x474@2x.jpg 1422w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-32-720x480@2x.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-32-900x600@2x.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-32-335x223@2x.jpg 670w\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8\">\n\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"aspectratio ratio-16x9 block-img-single wide-large\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-20-1536x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-20-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-20-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-20-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-20-711x474.jpg 711w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-20-335x223.jpg 335w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-20-720x480@2x.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-20-900x600@2x.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-20-711x474@2x.jpg 1422w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-20-335x223@2x.jpg 670w\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p>Cotton has infused new life into the cooperative. Since 2021, it has been partnering with FARFARM, a start-up on a mission to reforest the Amazon biome, invest in smallholders, and clean up the fashion supply chain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FARFARM works with a flourishing network of local farmers and agricultural organizations like Cooperativa D\u2019Irituia to grow cotton organically using agroforestry practices, before buying the bales to sell to French shoe company VEJA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agroforestry involves creating an ecosystem of plants and trees that bring diverse benefits to both the land and community, making for a farm that is at once a forest and a food system. Because of this approach, many local farmers grow cotton and native trees, like tucum\u00e3, just feet apart from each other on their land. Together, the crops help enrich the soil and provide farmers with multiple income sources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n<cite>&#8220;Having women working here is marvelous. Farming gives meaning to our lives.\u201d<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>While many farmers bring their products to Cooperativa D\u2019Irituia\u2019s factory for processing, it is just one partner among FARFARM\u2019s growing web of producers. To help scale this model, the start-up also supports local initiatives that help to build out the region\u2019s network of organic growers working with agroforestry. And throughout the region, women are at the helm of revitalizing the Amazon one cotton crop at a time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take Lenise Oliveira, a farmer from the municipality of Santa Barbara. Oliveira is the founder of Ecovila Iand\u00ea \u2013 a forest village where she and her husband live and train local farmers about agroforestry. The 58-year-old former zoo technician became an agroforestry expert after buying some land in 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery farm should be led by women,\u201d said Oliveira outside her guest house, engulfed by the forest\u2019s melody of rain showers and bat calls. She is a small but stately woman who wears glasses and often walks around with a machete strapped to her tool belt. She keeps her style simple and practical, but she\u2019s always wearing two black rings on her left hand. Her husband cut them from dried tucum\u00e3 fruit; one serves as their wedding ring.<\/p>\n\n\n<section id=\"page-block-block_1eadfa7faa2b322c6d96df36e8e1dc81\" class=\"acf-block

acai, and achiote. The property is adorned with reused material, as well \u2013 like the green and brown glass bottles cut into windchimes. The organization now runs one of the few community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs in the north region of the country, selling organic produce to families in the nearby city of Bel\u00e9m that have pre-paid for the harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the cotton project\u2019s partnership model, FARFARM covers the free training to local farmers at Ecovila Iand\u00ea so that they can learn how to grow cotton organically through agroforestry methods. Beto Bina, FARFARM\u2019s founder, describes the training as \u201can MBA for smallholder farmers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key lesson is that agroforestry is all about experimentation. Oliveira has experimented over the years with the design of agroforestry farms. Now, she has templates for how exactly cotton farmers should organize their land to maximize both the growth&nbsp;of their cotton and the forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n<cite>&#8220;A key lesson is that agroforestry is all about experimentation.&#8221;<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Helping farmers to implement these methods successfully has contributed to a self-sufficient ecosystem in which smallholders now learn from each other, even outside of structured training programs. Local farmer Maria do Socorro, for example, is growing cotton for the first time this year after being inspired by her neighbor, Cesar Souza, who was farming with agroforestry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She\u2019s excited to plant trees that\u2019ll not only provide colorful fruits to sell year after year but also an aesthetic for her land. She finds the agroforestry approach to farming \u201cbeautiful.\u201d The visual appeal of yucca, flowers, and cotton growing in clean lines is part of what drew her into the work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do Socorro\u2019s mom used to farm, too, but her methods involved using blazing fires to burn plots after the harvest to clear and nourish the land. Those same ferocious flames, however, also chip away at the forest\u2019s stunning expanse \u2013 all while releasing the carbon once stored in its tree trunks. Though the farmer\u2019s strategy has changed, she still cherishes her mother\u2019s memory when she\u2019s out on the land.<\/p>\n\n\n<section id=\"page-block-block_5d7bfa936a5e61e11b767ab558fbecad\" class=\"acf-block block-img-comp\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row fluid-two-small\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4 order-last\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"aspectratio ratio-16x9 block-img-single small-top\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"722\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-5-1-722x474.jpg\" class=\"attachment-standard-width-block size-standard-width-block\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-5-1-722x474.jpg 722w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-5-1-1559x1024.jpg 1559w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-5-1-731x480.jpg 731w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-5-1-900x591.jpg 900w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-5-1-335x220.jpg 335w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-5-1-722x474@2x.jpg 1444w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-5-1-731x480@2x.jpg 1462w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-5-1-900x591@2x.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-5-1-335x220@2x.jpg 670w\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"aspectratio ratio-16x9 block-img-single small-bottom\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"711\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-22-1-711x474.jpg\" class=\"attachment-standard-width-block size-standard-width-block\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-22-1-711x474.jpg 711w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-22-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-22-1-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-22-1-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-22-1-335x223.jpg 335w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-22-1-711x474@2x.jpg 1422w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-22-1-720x480@2x.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-22-1-900x600@2x.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-22-1-335x223@2x.jpg 670w\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8 order-first\">\n\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"aspectratio ratio-16x9 block-img-single wide-large\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-37-1536x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-37-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-37-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-37-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-37-711x474.jpg 711w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-37-335x223.jpg 335w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-37-720x480@2x.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-37-900x600@2x.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-37-711x474@2x.jpg 1422w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Textile_Exchange-37-335x223@2x.jpg 670w\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p>Health plays a big part in why many farmers are looking to organic methods. It\u2019s non all about offering environmentally friendly products to clothing and apparel companies \u2013 they also want chemical-free food to eat and sell. They want to skip the pesticides and toxins they believe are endangering their bodies and communities. And they want to end agricultural burns that pollute the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The women of Cooperativa D\u2019Irituia say that cancer remains one of Irituia\u2019s top diseases. The mother of Nayara Le\u00e3o, the cooperative\u2019s cotton and organic certification coordinator, had breast cancer. She\u2019s now cancer-free. The daughter of cooperative president Mari\u00e2ngela da Cunha Borges was also diagnosed with cancer at 14. She\u2019s cancer-free now, too. This is why the cooperative focuses heavily on health. Every last Friday of October, the women plan a day-long event on breast and prostate cancer awareness where they teach local women how to conduct breast exams and also help men break stigmas around checking for prostate cancer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDuring our capacity-building training, we talk not only about agroforestry and cotton but also about health and protection,\u201d Le\u00e3o said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n<cite>&#8220;During our capacity-building training, we talk not only about agroforestry and cotton but also about health and protection.&#8221;<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The cotton ecosystem in Brazil illustrates something we often forget about the items on store shelves \u2013 they are the products of both land and livelihoods. Every day in the field, workers have to walk around ant holes and bee hives. They toil beneath the sun. Sometimes, they even opt to work barefoot. Cotton is not a plant that simply grows \u2013 it is a plant that must be tended to: pruned, watered, harvested. The items in our wardrobes are not only something to wear \u2013 they are items that must be created, and agriculture is often the beginning of that lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By incentivizing organic farming and agroforestry, FARFARM has given the fashion industry an alternative model to support. It\u2019s also given local farmers a financially viable alternative to the monoculture farming that has contributed to the Amazon\u2019s devastation. And most importantly, it\u2019s building resilience \u2013 as the forest loses tree cover and moisture, it\u2019s slowly converting to a drier savannah ecosystem, and agroforestry is one way to overcome the region\u2019s increasing&nbsp;dry spells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The start-up hopes that more fashion brands see the value of incorporating materials grown responsibly and invest in farmers who want to nourish the land, rather than exploit it. \u201cConnecting smallholder farmers with brands is my life journey and what I believe the world needs,\u201d said Bina.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<section
