In Moya, we spent time with some of the few remaining cotton farmers committed to growing and harvesting cotton by hand.
Their challenges included fluctuating climate conditions, limited market opportunities, and generational gaps in knowledge transmission.
By speaking with these farmers, we strengthened our understanding of how cotton cultivation underpins traditional spinning practices and how essential it is to nurture every step in the textile chain.
