Following the Threads: Mapping Fashion's Value Chains
The fashion industry has a complex supply chain with deep agricultural roots and significant environmental impact. Materials such as cotton, for example, can have a heavy water footprint and be pesticide-intensive to grow. To shrink the industry's ecological footprint, fashion and agriculture must work in tandem. What practices and tools — including working with those on the front lines — can help make fashion's agricultural supply chains more regenerative and just? And how can we ensure that these are also applied to lowering the industry's emissions, as well as boosting transparency and traceability in its value chains?
