The Organic Cotton Training Curriculum

The Organic Cotton Training Curriculum is a collaboration between OCA and FiBL, funded by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, aimed at supporting organic cotton farm projects in India. The curriculum has been developed with a participatory approach in consultation with over 15 farm groups, experts and like-minded organizations working on sustainable farming practices in India. This initiative demonstrates OCA’s commitment to strengthening the organic cotton sector. By actively investing in capacity building efforts, the organisations hope to accelerate a positive multiplier effect. Better-trained extension teams, better farmer support, stronger farming communities, better decision making and therefore, a healthier rural environment that supports profitability for the farmers and the planet.

Structure of the Organic Cotton Curriculum


The curriculum has been designed with the aim to build capacities of the agriculture extension staff working with organic cotton farmers. These tools will enable staff to provide knowledge and training support on agronomic and group management topics. The curriculum presents an in-depth understanding of the entire crop cycle, challenges of growing organic cotton and the various mitigation measures for improving the quality and productivity of seed cotton at farm level.

The complete package offers extensive resources for the agriculture extension staff, including:
- Training modules
- Field activity guides
- Reading resources

You can download the Organic Cotton Training Guide in Hindi and English to get an overview of the curriculum.
