Did you know it takes just under a year for cotton seeds to transform into the products you see in stores? This process is often a mystery, but HAKRO GmbH, in collaboration with Raddis®, and Retraced are showing clearity! We are grateful for this collective effort to explore new routes: transparent, people centric, creating positive impacts together, through #regenerativecotton 💚🌏 THANK YOU TEAM HAKRO

ABOUT BIODIVERSITY CREDITS: ❇️"Transitioning from an extractive fossil-based to a regenerative economy powered by and prospering in harmony with nature is the defining challenge of our time – one that requires business buy-in and the deployment of financial capital to realise." 💚 #REthink your buying power and #enable your company to create multiple positive impacts, such as #biodiversity, within your own value chain! ✳️For example, Raddis® and it's back bone organisation Grameena Vikas Kendram Society for Rural Development are working with leaders across the fashion industry, creating scalable “proof of concept” natural value chains in India that blend agro-ecology, technology and indigenous knowledge to holistically regenerate landscapes and support communities. ✅Stay critical, build relationships and invest in projects that you can visit, follow-up during implementation and evaluate the impacts created over time. Thank you  Marc Palahí for your comment on Reuters

International Day of Rural Women 2024 Today, we honour the incredible resilience, wisdom, and contributions of rural women, especially Indigenous women farmers who drive change through regenerative agriculture. These women are at the forefront of building climate resilience, conserving biodiversity, and promoting sustainable land use. By embracing regenerative farming practices, they not only nurture the soil but also safeguard our planet's future. At the heart of their efforts is a commitment to both nature and community. Through regenerative practices, Indigenous women farmers are restoring ecosystems while creating livelihoods and empowering themselves and others. Their work exemplifies how regenerative farming can lead to gender equality and economic growth in rural areas. As we celebrate this year’s theme, "Rural Women Sustaining Nature for Our Collective Future," let us stand in solidarity with these women and continue supporting their crucial efforts in building a sustainable and equitable future for all. | #internationaldayofruralwomen | #rural #women | #regenerative #agriculture | #indigenous #women | #climateresilience | #sustainable #farming | #genderequality | #ruraldevelopment | #raddiscotton | #gvksociety |

❇️WHY is change needed in agriculture? ❇️HOW do we use #Cotton as our tool for the needed transformation? ❇️CONSIDER: Around 12,000 years ago, we began practicing agriculture, shifting from nomadic lifestyles to permanent settlements. Approximately 4,500 years ago, early insecticides, such as sulfur compounds, were first used. Fast forward to today, and in under a century, pesticide usage has skyrocketed to 4 billion tons annually! ❇️IT IS TIME: for policymakers, brands, retailers, consumers, and all stakeholders to make a change: true regenerative agriculture is part of that change! Do you want to know where to start? ❇️WATCH the replay of our webinar: “How to Scale up Regenerative Cotton Sourcing” - From tracing the roots of regenerative agriculture to evaluating the challenges and opportunities of scaling up regenerative cotton sourcing, the team at Raddis® Cotton gave their insight in collaboration with the Wageningen University & Research https://lnkd.in/ewJKMXJQ #regenerativeagriculture #responsiblesourcing #collaborativevaluenetwork #regenerativecotton
