Mission

The Sustainable Cotton Project (SCP) is an internationally recognized California-farm based program dedicated to changing the way cotton, one of the world's most widely traded commodities, is farmed and marketed. We connect growers, manufacturers and consumers to develop a Cleaner Cotton™ supply chain in California's productive Central Valley. Founded in 1996, SCP works with innovative growers to produce a high-quality fiber without using the most toxic pesticides and herbicides in agriculture.

San Joaquin Sustainable Farming Project

As the acres of row crops in California's Central Valley began to shift to acres of tree crops (almonds, walnuts and pistachios), California also became the largest dairy producing state. These changing crop patterns and shifts to offshore business and cheap imports led cotton acres in California to decline dramatically. Cotton growers in the Sustainable Cotton Project were among those who increased their acres of alfalfa to feed those high producing dairy cows and many, for the first time, planted almonds to increase their profitability. With this shift in crops came an increased demand for technical assistance from growers who had grown row crops for generations. SCP saw the opportunity to expand our grower outreach work to almonds and alfalfa and secured funding to help growers of all three of these important crops implement management practices that protect local watersheds, improve air quality and support rural communities. Our San Joaquin Sustainable Farming Project works with alfalfa, almond and cotton growers in Merced, Madera and Fresno counties to promote these sustainable farming practices.
