Regenerative Organic Certified®

THE GLOBAL BENCHMARK FOR SOIL HEALTH, FARMWORKER FAIRNESS, AND ANIMAL WELFARE

Regenerative Organic Certified® – ROC – is a revolutionary certification for food, textiles, and personal care ingredients. It sets the global benchmark for soil health, farmworker fairness, and animal welfare, ensuring the highest standards. KnowledgeCotton Apparel is among the first, and very few, clothing companies to receive the ROC certification.

Regenerate nature and reverse the greenhouse effect

A hopeful solution to start global cooling and repairing our damaged planet

Regenerative practices work to maximize carbon fixation in the ground by increasing carbon-rich soil organic matter. This creates a drawdown effect of CO2 from the atmosphere, actually reversing the greenhouse effect. This can be a real game-changer in our industry and we fully embrace it.

Using natures own practices, Regenerative Organic farming starts with building a healthy soil:

Organic means no synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, GMO’s or chemical inputs.

Cover crops increase organic matter in soil, reduce soil erosion and sequester carbon.

Compost acts as a natural fertilizer.

Crops are rotated from one year to the next.

Diverse range of crops are planted together to improve soil health, biodiversity and yields. Food crops along with fiber crops contribute to food security of the farming families.

Low-Till farming helps soil retain water, create soil life and store more carbon.

By capturing carbon in soil and above-ground biomass, Regenerative Organic farming aims to reverse global warming. The practices also help avoid deforestation, one of our biggest climate threats, and put an end to desertification and soil degradation.

Resilience to climate instability is another major benefit for the agricultural communities. The holistic regenerative farming practices prioritize soil health while simultaneously ensuring the health and wealth of farmers and high standards of animal welfare.

As of today, we have converted 397 of our cotton farming families in 27 villages in the Adilabad district in India, to the highest organic standard: Regenerative Organic.

In total, this corresponds to 901 hectares of land and around 1,090,000 kg of raw cotton harvest. Our next mission is to, village by village, support another 800 farms in converting to Regenerative Organic cotton farming.

Let’s stop global warming and start global cooling.

‍Together we can repair our damaged planet.
