Cotton covers 2.4 per cent of the world’s farmland, but uses 24 per cent of the world’s insecticides, according to the World Wildlife Federation.

Although many of the pesticides have been banned for food production because they are known to cause cancer and birth defects, runoff from 60 million pounds of these pesticides find its way into the soil and water every year in the US alone through conventional cotton production.
