World Cotton Day
October 7 · Level 7 · #883 of 2238
World Cotton Day follows the thread from farms to fabric and international trade. It highlights the livelihoods behind everyday clothing and the challenge of producing cotton while caring for land and water.
How it is celebrated: industry meetings, exhibitions and discussions bring together growers, researchers and trade representatives. They share production methods and explore ways to support farming communities.
Cotton provides more than textile fibre. Its seeds also yield oil that, after suitable processing, is used in food production.
