Organic farming recognises the connections between the fabrics we use, our health and the health of livestock and the environment. By considering the whole system, organic methods minimise or remove the unwanted side effects of mainstream industrial farming.
Modern farming methods rely on chemical assistance in order to control pests & disease and ensure the success of a crop. Often these practices have a damaging impact on the environment and on the lives of animals - both on and off the farm. Organic farming methods challenge these issues by restricting the use of pesticides and prohibiting artificial chemical fertilisers. Instead, organic practices use traditional crop mixture and sequencing and encourage indigenous wildlife to control pests & disease. These are all natural ways of ensuring environmental health, while creating fibres that are completely natural.
