Organic cotton

Organic cotton is obtained from a type of cultivation that
does not involve the use of artificial fertilizers and chemical
pesticides. Organic farming systems have the potential to
sustain and promote the health of soils, ecosystems, and
people by relying on ecological processes, biodiversity, and
cycles that are adapted to local conditions, rather than using
external inputs that could have adverse effects on the envi-
ronment and on people . 1
The fabric, therefore, has the same quality as conventional
cotton but the impact on the environment is much lower .
