Organic cotton project in Burkina Faso

I want to share a video with you. Helping West African farmers achieve a better future, hessnatur partnered with Helvetas, an independent development association, to create an organic cotton project in Burkina Faso.  As you’ll see when you watch it, the benefits of organic farming go far beyond the crop itself.  The impact it has on the life of the farmers and their families is a blessing.  Take a look.

What are your thoughts?

   It’s very interesting to see that organic cotton can be a benefit not only for nature but also for the farmers. I think a lot of people (including myself) have only a very vague idea of how things can be produced in a environment-friendly way, and how good it actually works. I’d love to see more.
