Cotton
Studies identified poor soil management as one of the major bottlenecks for the development of the organic cotton sector as it leads to poor quality of the organic cotton. Therefore, an Experiential Learning Methodology to improve organic soil management was developed in collaboration with the Italian Institute for Ethical and Environmental Certification (ICEA), BioRe, one of the global organic cotton farming pioneers and FiBL, an organic research institute in Switzerland.

• ICEA (2010) Experiential and Participatory Learning Methodology in Organic Cotton production Training module for the trainer/facilitator that will manage/guide the learning process.
