By implementing regenerative agricultural practices, Nativa aims to increase organic materials in the soil by 20% over five years, while simultaneously reducing pesticide usage by 25% with an eventual aim of zero pesticide reliance.

“As part of Nativa’s goals of positively impacting the supply chain for a more sustainable system, we wanted to expand our reach from wool into new fibres,” said Maria Estrada, Nativa’s global director of the Regenerative Cotton programme.

She added: “With cotton playing such a significant role in the fashion industry, it was only natural to extend our programme to this iconic fibre.”

The first crop of Nativa Cotton is set to be planted in the upcoming sowing season, with harvesting scheduled between October and November of this year.

The fibre supplier is collaborating with partner luxury fashion brands such as Stella McCartney, Gucci, Pangaia, and COS to share the stories of its farmers.
