One of India’s leading organic agricultural cultivators and traders, Delight Group and the Delight Health and Wellness Foundation are collaborating with Good Earth Cotton to adapt the program and its principles in India.
According to the program, 1977 Indian cotton farms, spanning 3,689 hectareare converting to Good Earth Cotton.They commenced this conversion in mid- 2021 by digital mapping, soil sampling, data collection and GPS tagging to build a base analysis from which the Good Earth Cotton program and principles will be reviewed and adapted to bring climate positive improvements to a smallholder farming system and Indian climatic conditions.
As per The Spin Off report, the growers will fully adopt the Good Earth Cotton program in the next three years. Backed by the advanced transparency technology, FiberTech, the program aims to reach complete transparency and real-time verification throughout the global supply chain.
Delight Group will use the FibreTracetechnology to verify and trace the Good Earth Cotton production in India. It will also introduce the technology across certified Indian Organic cotton in 2022.The partnership will lead to production of over 200,000 bales of Good Earth Cotton in 2023.
