Cotton is a crop. In fact, it is a HUGE crop, just like corn, wheat, and soybeans. This means it accounts for a massive amount of farmland, and just like our food crops, it can be grown with organic or non-organic methods.
At VSF, we choose to use organic cotton because it sustains the health of soils, ecosystems, and people by using natural farming processes. That means no toxic chemicals and 81% less water than non-organic cotton.
VSF products are Certified Organic by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). If you would like to learn more about GOTS or explore even more of the benefits of organic cotton farming, please visit the following websites:
