HAMBURG – The Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF) has commissioned a study to assess the environmental impact of its Cotton made in Africa (CmiA) farmers’ practices.
Data was collated across three countries, Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, and Zambia, which produce more than half of the world’s CmiA cotton.
Having compared the practices of its smallholder farmers to the global average, on issues such as water consumption and carbon emissions, the study found that the environmental footprint of CmiA farmers is ‘excellent’.
