Dutch cotton!

Press/Media: Research › Professional

Description

In a greenhouse in the Dutch town of Bleiswijk, researchers are growing cotton. Using 95 per cent less water and zero chemical pesticides, and getting a far higher yield than traditional methods do. The first harvest resulted in a unique pair of G-star jeans. But in the Netherlands, cotton will likely remain a niche market.
