Statistics released by the Organic Cotton Fibre Report 2006 state that if all cotton that is grown in the world today shifted from conventional processes of production to organic processes, the global percentage of pesticide and insecticide emissions would drop by 25%.

Organic farmers around the world are showing that there are sustainable alternatives to dangerous chemicals in the management of pests.

Black ants keep caterpillars and other pests under control in Uganda. The ants are collected by farmers among the leaves below banana trees. They are transferred to the cotton field where two ants patrol each cotton plant, eating flies and almost any other insects they encounter, including the major cotton pests, bollworms and budworms.

Okra is grown nearby to attract away cotton stainers – one insect that the ants don’t attack. The Ugandan word for organic cotton is pamba nginigini - pamba means cotton and nginigini are the predatory black ants.

In other countries, mixtures of natural soap, chilli and extracts from local trees are used to repel pests, which can then be eaten by chickens or other birds. Insect traps can be used to detect when levels of infestation are rising, allowing farmers to time their applications to gain the best effect.

All of our products are grown & sewn in a manner that is both Earth Friendly & People Friendly
