The Raddis System is a collaborative value network working with female cotton farmers in India that aims to convert 25,000 acres of cotton from degenerative mono-crop agriculture to rain-fed regenerative organic methods over the next five years.
This would increase water retention capacity by 20-30%, increase farm biodiversity by 100%, remove 12,125 kg of toxic pesticides, 3,022 tons of synthetic fertilisers, sequester 16,175 tons of carbon in the soil, remove 60,000 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere, eliminate GMOs from 25,000 acres, and double the income of 12,500 farmers by increasing premiums and reducing the cost of cultivation.
By working together, both companies aim to inspire, learn, and discover innovative solutions to address the pressing environmental challenges facing our planet.
‘This collaboration will enable us to take the next steps and go beyond the expected in our efforts to protect the environment by turning towards regenerative cotton, supporting both sustainable sources for the processing of cotton for trims, as well as contributing to improving the life of the farmers driving this change,’ said Camilla Mjelde, sustainability director at Trimco Group.
