The Trimco Group’s partnership with Raddis Cotton is a step in the direction of climate positivity. The company intends to influence other brands to adopt similar practises by learning about revitalising landscapes and growing symbiotic crops in food and fibre ecosystems.
Trimco Group is dedicated to looking into novel ways to make a good impact on the environment, especially in light of the latest IPCC report that highlights the urgency of taking action against climate change. The business hopes to contribute more to nature than it takes away by assisting the creation of regenerative cotton through this relationship, making important advancements towards a sustainable future.
In order to help tribal female farmers in India, Raddis Cotton has chosen to minimise the support of well-known certification organisations. Instead, they record the procedure and offer the farmers direct assistance, which lowers costs and guarantees the accuracy of their initiatives.
Camilla Mjelde, sustainability director at Trimco Group, expressed excitement about the collaboration and said, “This collaboration will enable us to take the next steps and go beyond the expected in our efforts to protect the environment by turning towards regenerative cotton.”
The Raddis System seeks to transform 25,000 acres of cotton farming from degenerative mono-crop agriculture to rain-fed regenerative organic practises over the course of the next five years. The lofty objectives include doubling farmer income, promoting agricultural biodiversity, removing harmful pesticides and synthetic fertilisers, sequestering carbon in the soil, lowering CO2 emissions, and eradicating genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Niccy Kol, impact catalyst at Raddis added: “Our collaboration model not only empowers Trimco Group to enhance their impact within their own value chains but also provides farmers with a dedicated buyer for an extended period, ensuring stability and sustainability.”
