Regenerative agriculture is an alternative means of producing food that, its advocates claim, may have lower-or even net positive-environmental and/or social impacts. Regenerative agriculture has recently received significant attention from producers, retailers, researchers, and consumers, as well as politicians and the mainstream media. Despite widespread interest in regenerative agriculture, no legal or regulatory definition of the term "regenerative agriculture" exists nor has a widely accepted definition emerged in common usage. This paper answers the research question: How have different scholars and practitioners defined regenerative agriculture? We reviewed 229 journal articles and 25 practitioner websites to characterize the term "regenerative agriculture." Our review revealed that there were many definitions and descriptions of regenerative agriculture in usage. These were variously based on processes (e.g., use of cover crops, the integration of livestock, and reducing or eliminating tillage), outcomes (e.g., to improve soil health, to sequester carbon, and to increase biodiversity), or combinations of the two. Process-based definitions may imply that advocates or users of such definitions are open-minded about the possible outcomes of these processes. Similarly, outcome-based definitions may imply that users of such definitions are open-minded about the processes that may lead to those outcomes. We discuss the implications of these different forms of definition for policy, including for certification programs and for payments for carbon sequestration programs. More generally, wide variance in the definitions used may lead to uncertainty about what different actors mean when they talk about regenerative agriculture. We suggest that it may be helpful for individual users of the term "regenerative agriculture" to define it comprehensively for their own purpose and context.

“…Neste contexto, uma outra solução ambiental para mitigar os impactos negativos da cultura de algodão tradicional, é a adoção e o desenvolvimento do cultivo de outras fibras vegetais como alternativa de matéria-prima têxtil, por exemplo, fibras de linho, juta, rami, sisal, bambu, cânhamo, coco, banana, cana-de-açúcar, milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus), palmeira (Astrocaryum chambira Burret), tamareira (phoenix dactylifera), abacá (Musa textilis), paina (Ceiba speciosa), produção de algodão orgânico, ou mesmo a reciclagem dessas fibras a partir de produtos descartados (ESTEVE-TURRILLAS; DE LA GUARDIA, 2017;GHORI et al, 2018;OLIVEIRA DUARTE et al, 2019). Porém, existe um certo conformismo e acomodação das comunidades globais aos processos e produtos tradicionais.…”

“…Há 6 mil anos, por exemplo, o linho já era comumente usado no Egito; o cânhamo e o rami são cultivados e usados para fins têxteis na China há milhares de anos; civilizações précolombianas já usavam o sisal misturados às fibras animais como lã e vicunha para confecção de roupas, no entanto, atualmente pouco ou nenhum conhecimento popular dessas fibras é observado entre consumidores na atualidade (OLIVEIRA DUARTE et al, 2019). Todas essas fibras são possíveis recursos florestais alternativos mal explorados, o que explica até hoje os meios ainda rudimentares de produção e de processamento de alguns desses materiais, como o rami, o sisal, a juta e até mesmo o linho.…”

RESUMOAo longo de décadas a indústria têxtil mudou pouco em relação à execução de seus processos fabris, principalmente nos países pobres e emergentes, que invariavelmente são os maiores produtores neste nicho. Muitos dos processos de produção se mantiveram os mesmos ou muito parecidos à forma como eram executados em sua origem, exceto pelo melhoramento dos equipamentos, que atualmente são mais ergonômicos, seguros, duráveis, eficientes e automatizados. Porém, as cargas poluentes geradas e os impactos florestais e aquáticos continuam sendo um problema grave, que tornará este sistema fabril cada vez mais nocivo e insustentável. Para piorar, a moda e o marketing ao criarem tendências e necessidades no desenvolvimento acelerado das coleções, intensificam o consumismo irresponsável e agilizam o ciclo de descarte desses materiais o que gera mais lixo em intervalos de tempos cada vez menores. Por estas razões, é importante mostrar como esses problemas afetam a sociedade e como é urgente a busca por soluções mais efetivas. O interesse da ciência na busca por novas alternativas de cultivo de fibras e meios de fabricação dos produtos têxteis de forma mais consciente e responsável, por exemplo, por meio da exploração sustentável dos recursos florestais e até mesmo a arborização de lavouras convencionais (agrossilvicultura), já é uma realidade, embora, com um avanço um tanto quanto lento. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho buscou relatar as deficiências do sistema têxtil atual e suas desvantagens no âmbito ecológico, para a partir disso apresentar as potencialidades que a floresta tem para um desenvolvimento alternativo mais sustentável dessa indústria. O conteúdo apresentado tem a intenção de tratar, neste contexto, uma ideia de reengenharia, algo que possa ser repensando, reavaliado, renovado e reestruturado no âmbito dos processos têxteis tradicionais, levando em consideração o equilíbrio ambiental e a adoção da mentalidade de sociedade 5.0. Palavras-Chave: indústria têxtil, recursos florestais, sustentabilidade, agrossilvicultura, sociedade 5.0. RESUMENA lo largo de las décadas, la industria textil ha cambiado poco con relación a la ejecución de sus procesos de manufactura, principalmente en países pobres y emergentes, que invariablemente son los mayores

Organic cotton network in Brazil addressing textile and clothing sector

Organic cotton is the main eco-material used by sustainable clothing brands. At the same time, cotton cultivation is of great economic importance in Brazil, as it can be cultivated in various climatic and soil conditions. The Brazilian textile and clothing sector covers the entire chain, from the production of raw materials, to the production of yarns and textiles, manufacture of clothing, distribution, marketing, retail and customers. However, even though the country is the fourth largest international producer of traditional cotton, organic farming still has a limited volume. Despite being a demanding fiber in the market, there is a gap in the understanding of its network, which may be hindering its potential development. The aim of this study was to identify the main actors and develop a description of the organic cotton network in Brazil. A literature review, interviews and technical visits in the states of Minas Gerais, Paraíba and São Paulo and analysis of annual cotton reports by national and international organizations were carried out. Interest in the production of organic cotton has been increasing every year, but producers still face difficulties in articulating with the market, both in the production and in the commercialization of organic cotton fiber. EMBRAPA Cotton, Laudes Foundation and VEJA represent the central positions in the analysis of organic cotton networks. This is followed by NGOs such as Diaconia, Arribaçã, Esplar and Textile Exchange, the companies OCC, NCC and Justa Trama and the public research institution EMPAER.The lack of a social organization or a company was noticed, to play the role of connection between producers and the textile industry in Brazil's organic cotton network. National and international NGOs open spaces for sharing value and exchanging information and play the role of financing agroecological projects in Brazil, supporting the structural consolidation of the network. Brands and retailers also have a crucial role to play, as they have the capacity to pull the sector towards greater sustainability, demanding and buying organic cotton.
