How does cotton affect societies in other countries?

The Cotton Project in Japan

We have been looking at important places in Japan. One of these places is the Tohoku area, which was hurt greatly by the 2011 tsunami. We decided to compare our situation with those in Japan by looking at the Tohoku Cotton project.

What is the Tohoku cotton project?

- It is a new sustainable system that does not overburdening system.
- To encourage farmers to grow cotton on the tsunami-stricken fields no longer suitable for growing rice

- To create a new industry using TOHKU COTTON with fashion and apparel companies to generate stable employment in Tohoku

- And to effectively channel good will of individuals to support the disaster-stricken area through choices made to benefit them as well in their daily live.
