[Picking Cotton]

The Vasudha Project is a large-scale organic farming program run by PSL, and covering 55,000 acres of farmland, and will reach up 100,000 acres by 2010. Over 2700 farmers are involved. The project grows certified organic cotton to produce premium finished knit fabrics, as well as food crops. It encourages increased environmental sensitivity among workers and staff, generates direct and indirect employment, and ensures the health and welfare of the farmers and their families.

PSL provides 70 field experts who regularly monitor the fields, train farmers on how to grow quality organic cotton using locally available inputs, and help with the certification process.
