Our regenerative agriculture work focuses on cotton in India. With Beetle Regen, we connect farmer support, brand sourcing, traceability and project monitoring.
WHAT WE DELIVER
A clear scope. Built around your need.
A regenerative cotton program needs to work for farmers and for the brands buying their cotton. We bring field implementation and sourcing decisions together, with clear expectations for practices, material origin and reporting.
Farmer programs
Coordinate farmer support and field implementation with our partner Beetle Regen, India. Practices are selected for local conditions and may include cover cropping, intercropping and reduced tillage.
What the engagement includes
Program scope and field-partner coordination
Farmer support and practice implementation
Agreed field monitoring and reporting
Brand sourcing programs
Translate a brand's cotton needs into a practical sourcing program. We coordinate with farming and supply-chain partners around material requirements, timelines and implementation responsibilities.
What the engagement includes
Brand requirements and program design
Farmer, mill and supply-chain coordination
Sourcing and delivery planning
Traceability & impact reporting
Connect cotton origin and supply-chain records with information on farming practices and performance. Agree the evidence needed to support the brand's sourcing and sustainability claims.
Working together to connect regenerative cotton farming with brand sourcing.
Beetle Regen brings agricultural expertise, farmer training and field implementation in India. SIV Impact brings enterprise and supply-chain experience, brand engagement and coordination across the sourcing program.
Together, we align farming practices, traceability and reporting with the needs of participating farmers and brands.
SIV’S DELIVERY ROLE
From definition through implementation.
01
Set the sourcing brief
Agree the cotton requirements, sourcing region, program boundaries and evidence the brand needs.
02
Build the program
Define farmer support, field activities, supply-chain roles and the commercial and reporting requirements with partners.
03
Connect field and supply chain
Coordinate implementation and the flow of material and records between farmers, supply-chain partners and the brand.
04
Review the evidence
Track agreed farming, sourcing and traceability measures. Identify where independent verification is required and coordinate it with the relevant parties.
MEASUREMENT
Define the evidence. Track what matters.
01
Farm practices
Implementation of agreed regenerative practices and relevant soil and water indicators.
02
Farmer outcomes
Program-specific livelihood and farm-performance measures where data is available.
03
Material traceability
Origin, volumes and supply-chain records tied to the cotton sourcing program.
The project scope establishes the baseline, measures, reporting schedule and any independent verification requirements. Targets and measured outcomes are reported separately.
Our team's experience in apparel, sourcing and global supply chains connects brand requirements with the agricultural expertise and field implementation of our partner Beetle Regen, India.
Enterprise leadership helps us connect the project to business decisions, budgets and accountability. Local coordination aligns technical partners, communities and public agencies around the agreed work.
We build cost discipline into scope, design, procurement and delivery, and consider ongoing care from the outset.
What does regenerative agriculture mean for cotton?
A regenerative cotton program aims to improve the farming system, including soil condition, water management, biodiversity and farmer livelihoods. Practices are chosen for local conditions and can include cover cropping, intercropping and reduced tillage. Outcomes need to be assessed against the program’s baseline.
How can an apparel brand start a regenerative cotton program?
Start with the cotton requirement, sourcing region, timeline and evidence needed by the brand. SIV Impact works with Beetle Regen in India to connect the field program with sourcing and supply-chain responsibilities, including material-origin records and traceability.
How are sourcing and environmental claims supported?
A program should distinguish adoption of farming practices from measured outcomes. We agree the records, monitoring indicators and reporting requirements with the brand and delivery partners. Any certification, independent verification or specific environmental claim must be supported by evidence for that program.
