100% cotton. Made in India

An estimated 290,000 Indian farmers have committed suicide in 20 years. Small farms used to be the country’s economic backbone, but now owners struggle to make even a meager profit and drown in debt. For some, the pressure is too much. Many blame GMO cotton for the failing farms, having cornered the market and replaced organic crops; they have failed to live up to expectations.

Watch “100% cotton. Made in India” on the RTD website and on RT’s live feed. The time of the broadcast is available on RT’s schedule page.
