Cotton Farming with Worms: A Sustainable and Innovative Approach to Agriculture
Cotton is one of the most important cash crops in the world, with a global production of over 25 million metric tonnes in 2020. The cotton plant is grown primarily for its fiber, which is used in the manufacture of textiles, clothing, and other consumer goods. However, conventional cotton farming practices have been associated with various environmental problems, including soil degradation, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. In recent years, farmers and researchers have been exploring alternative, more sustainable approaches to cotton farming, including the use of worms. In this article, we will explore how cotton farming with worms works and how it can benefit both farmers and the environment.
