The beautiful azure blue washed walls that line the streets of Jodhpur’s old city 💙

The colour blue is associated with Lord Shiva, his followers consider it to be a sacred colour. Owing to its sacredness, many of his followers who were settled in the region of Jodhpur daubed their houses in blue hues , thus the town received the moniker, Blue City.

Yolngu elder Mary Dhapalany preparing and dying pandanus leaves for weaving at the Bula'bula arts centre in Ramingining, Arnhem Land.

Plant roots and stone ochre create vibrant pigments and are added to boiling water for dyeing the pandanus, they are then sun dried, split with hardy hands (I tried and failed) then are ready for weaving. The artistry is mind-blowing.

This year's NAIDOC week celebrates Indigenous elders and all that they do to preserve and pass on culture and traditions. I feel so unbelievably privileged to have witnessed and documented this ancient methodology. Thank you and all the artists for opening your doors ❤️‍🔥

About 80% of the world's biodiversity is supported by the fewer than 5% of human population, INDIGENOUS PEOPLE. Studies suggest, indigenous management institutions are very persistent and resilient and can influence long-term human-landscape relationships. By 'accompanying' natural processes, they can co-produce, sustain, and protect genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity throughout the world. For instance, they can create cultural landscapes with high habitat heterogeneity and develop and restore ecosystems with novel species combinations of wild and domesticated species.
(Garnett et al. 2018).

“The future of our planet lies in indigenous ways of living on the Earth. As a global community, we have lost our way; we forgot what it means to have a relationship with the land.” - Jon Waterhouse

WORLD SOIL DAY

Natural fibers are dependent on healthy soils and ecosystems. How our food and fibres are grown has a fundamental impact on the health of people and our planet. We believe a focus on regeneration is key to abundance and biodiversity.

Soil supports life on our planet by providing essential nutrients to plants. It is also home to a large, diversified community of creatures that enhance the soil's structure, recycle vital nutrients, and aid in the management of weeds, plant pests, and diseases.

Another crucial factor is that good soil reduces climate change by preserving or even increasing soil organic carbon. All plants used in food production grow on soil, which also serves as the foundation of food fibre systems.

Choosing natural fibres that are grown organically and supporting farmers in regenerative agricultural practices is a powerful way the fashion and garment industry can influence positive change for people and the future of our planet.

Losing ourselves in this gorgeous, healthy crop of cotton 🌱

Such a great day visiting farm communities in Gujarat and chatting with the farmers about the challenges and wins with their Regenerative farming practices.

Why Regenerative Agriculture?

“Regenerative Agriculture is a system of farming principles that increases biodiversity, enriches soils, improves watersheds, and enhances ecosystems.

It aims to capture carbon in the soil and above ground biomass (plants) reversing current global trends of atmospheric accumulation of CO2 causing climate change.

At the same time it offers increased yields, resilience to climate instability, and higher health and vitality for farmers and their communities.” - Terra Cenesis International

We have recently returned from a wonderfully informative trip to visit Regenerative cotton farms and surrounding villages. This gave me the opportunity to connect with the community and understand their challenges as well as their achievements in adopting Regenerative Agricultural practices.

The main aim of Regenerative cotton cultivation is restoration of soil fertility, reduction of production cost and a better price for the certified Regenerative harvest.

Our next endeavor is to travel across to the east coast where 500 women only run farms are producing superb cotton with a beautiful long staple length. Stay tuned 🌱🌱
