Organic Cotton Project Guide
	The aim of the guide is to support organizers of organic cotton projects in designing and setting up organic cotton production with smallholders, or in re-thinking existing projects. Recognizing that there are many possible ways and approaches in doing this, the guide wants to stimulate reflection and provide ideas rather than giving final answers and prescriptions. The guide does not deal with the processing of cotton fiber and trade of cotton products.
