BCI (BETTER COTTON INITIATIVE)
BCI stands for the Better Cotton Initiative, a global not-for-profit organisation that seeks to make the cotton industry more sustainable. There are seven principles that BCI farmers should follow: - Farmers should minimise the harmful impact of crop protection practices - They should promote water stewardship - They should care for the health of the soil - BCI Farmers should enhance biodiversity and use land responsibly - They should care for and preserve fibre quality - They should promote decent work - And BCI Farmers should operate an effective management system In order to help follow these principles, the BCI offers support to farmers.
