cotton
Materra designs scalable solutions āØto grow and source climate-resilient, transparent and equitable cotton.
For fashion brands, farmers and the planet.
Yet most brands donāt know where and how their cotton is grown.
We work directly with farmers in India to create custom cotton sourcing programs for fashion brands and textile mills, seamlessly plugging into supply chains.
Our expansive impact data comes direct-from-farm to ensure continuous sustainability assessments, full regulatory compliance, and rich storytelling.
Working with and for farmers, we craft programs built for climate resilience while incorporating local knowledge.
Our solutions ā from regenerative farming workshops to digital agronomy support and guaranteed premiums ā place farmer profits and overall health and wellbeing at the very axis of their design.
Step aside extractive conventional systems, because cotton can be a force for good. The natural world is a central stakeholder in every single decision we make.
Our farming programs are designed to be actively healthy for the soil, air, water, biodiversity and the people who farm it.
