Egedeniz Textile is proud to lead the charge in regenerative cotton cultivation! We recently had the honor of participating in the 1st International Congress of Mediterranean Agroecology, held from June 9 to 12, 2025, in Agrigento, Sicily, Italy. This significant event, promoted by the Agroecology Sicily Coordination in collaboration with AIDA (Italian Association of Agroecology) and AIAF (Italian Association of Agroforestry), and sponsored by Agroecology Europe, served as a vital platform for dialogue across the Mediterranean agroecological community.
Alongside our esteemed partners, the Association of Ecological Agriculture (ETO) and the International Agricultural Research and Training Center (UTAEM), we presented the groundbreaking scientific findings from the first three years of our project, “Development of Regenerative Farming Practices on Cotton Production in the Aegean Region.”
This project is at the forefront of transforming cotton cultivation with regenerative fundamentals. Our regenerative cotton farming practices, including no-till farming, the strategic use of cover crops, and diverse crop rotation, are not just buzzwords; they are fundamental to carbon farming and lead to remarkable improvements in soil health. We’re even utilizing advanced tools like the CO2 Flux tool to measure our impact meticulously.
The Congress provided a wonderful opportunity to connect with highly valuable researchers and farmers from around the globe. It was inspiring to share our achievements and witness the collective commitment to a more sustainable agricultural future. Egedeniz Textile is incredibly proud to be a driving force in bringing awareness to the critical importance of soil health and regeneration within organic cotton production.
Our work is ongoing, and this journey towards sustainable and regenerative cotton is an exciting one. We are committed to sharing further results as our project progresses, demonstrating the power of regenerative agriculture in creating a healthier planet and a more resilient future for farming.
