OE Farmer Toolkit
The OE Farmer Toolkit is a compilation of best practices sourced from scientific research and farmers’ experiences. The Toolkit is intended to provide crucial information on core organic cotton agricultural practices for the instruction and education of organic farmers/farm groups and may be reproduced for non-profit purposes.


The current components include:

  • Certification and Internal Control Systems
  • Growing Calendars
  • Soil Management
  • Agroecosystem Management
  • Intercrops
  • Crop Nutrition
  • Pest and Disease Management
  • Harvest and Quality Control
  • Guide for Responsible Fiber Production and Trade
  • Organic producers Directory of Resources

Each component has a fact sheet that can be downloaded in full color or printer-friendly versions. Many components also have a PowerPoint presentation and a poster that can be downloaded, in addition to other useful resources. OE will continue to update the Farmer Toolkit as new tools come available, so be sure to check back often. Download now at: www.organicexchange.org.
