The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) aims to make global cotton production better for the people who produce it, better for the environment it grows in and better for the sector’s future, by developing Better Cotton as a sustainable mainstream commodity. It involves training and capacity building of farmers for sustainable cotton production by promotion of best package of practices on integrated pest management, integrated nutrient management, and selection of variety by conducting training, exposure of farmers and demonstrations at village level.
The BCI Annual Implementing Partner Meeting and Symposium is an event for its implementing strategic & local partners to learn and interact around BCI’s latest field and standard developments including an opportunity to showcase best practices. BCI focuses on reducing environmental impact of cotton production and improving the livelihoods of cotton farmers through the production of Better Cotton. To achieve this change, BCI coordinates a capacity building program delivered by experienced implementing partners. And ACF is one of the implementing partners in India.
BCI practices ensure guaranteed work ethics on farms, ensured soil health & better profit margins coupled with safe environment practices.
