Organic cotton is widely recognised for its environmental and social benefits

AMSTERDAM – The Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA) has published a life cycle assessment (LCA) study highlighting the environmental benefits of organic cotton farming in India.

Conducted by carbon asset developer and climate consultancy, South Pole, the study analysed third-party validated data from over 18,000 farmers across three growing seasons (2020-2023) and three distinct irrigation contexts - rain-fed, heavily irrigated, and hybrid - covering the Indian states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Gujarat, and Telangana.
