New study claims lower climate and water impacts for cotton produced under Cotton made in Africa Organic standard
HAMBURG - The Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF) has announcing the results of a new life-cycle analysis (LCA) for cotton produced in Tanzania under its Cotton made in Africa Organic (CmiA Organic) standard.
The study, based on Textile Exchange’s latest global cotton LCA data and reviewed under ISO 14044, models CmiA Organic as a low‑input, rainfed smallholder system with no mineral fertilisers or irrigation and finds that climate and water‑related hotspots typical of industrial cotton are largely absent.
