Organic cotton acreage is booming. If you know anything about the conventional cotton industry, which uses some of the most hazardous chemicals available, you'll agree this is a good thing.

First, the numbers: The 2008 Organic Cotton Farm and Fiber Report published by Organic Exchange shows organic cotton production increased by 152% in 2007/2008 compared to 2006/2007. This figure includes 22 countries. The top ten organic cotton producers are India, Syria, Turkey, China, Tanzania, USA, Uganda, Peru, Egypt, and Burkina Faso.

The increased acreage reflects the growing demand for organic cotton products, like T-shirts and bedding, and Organic Exchange expects this market to grow as interest in green products expands, even in the face of hard economic times.

There are a lot of organizations and businesses working to reduce our "fiber footprint" and provide cotton growers fair prices. Check out the Sustainable Cotton Project and Fair Trade Labeling Organization International for starters.

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.

Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
