Cotton
farming is one of the most pollutant crops of the world. The current
trends of harvesting promote the utilization of genetically modified
cotton. This cotton is resistant to strong pesticides that contaminate
the soil and destroy the rest of the living creatures in its environment
Organic cotton is harvested by traditional methods.
These include the use of natural pesticides, utilization of birds, insects
and traps to attack the plagues, the use of seeds that are not genetically
modified etc. Farmers and the rest of cotton workers avoid lung and
skin diseases that are very common with conventional cotton.
