Cotton is cultivated in Brazil and Peru by associations that respect people and the environment, according to fair trade principles. In Brazil, cotton is organic and agroecological. This agriculture enriches the land after being cultivated by improving the diversity of species cultivated and water retention in the soil. In Peru, farmers grow certified organic and regenerative cotton. They receive support in their certification process and receive technical and financial assistance to improve their production.
