DIRT is a UK charity working globally to turn fashion into a climate solution, starting with the soil. Fashion is grown in soil, and the way we currently grow our raw materials causes tremendous harm to soil, and is a catalyst for climate change. We could grow fashion crops such as wool, cotton, leather and linen in a way that heals soil and restores nature to full health and thriving biodiversity. Regenerating soil is both a long term solution and the fastest answer we have to climate change. The Biodynamic method of agriculture that DIRT Charity’s efforts support is a powerful nature based solution to farming and our goal is to get fashion’s sourcing power behind biodynamic soil regeneration globally. DIRT’s mission is to grow and process all fashion’s raw materials biodynamically. It’s a big mission as we need all the help we can get. Please donate if you can.
Provides scholarships to biodynamic colleges globally, supports the implementation into curriculums of farming fashion’s raw materials biodynamically, and funds the creation of educational and awareness raising media content.
Supports Biodynamic Associations as they implement fashion crops into their mandate. There are almost 100 associations around the world who work tirelessly to promote biodynamics, and to attract, educate and support farmers to this healing modality of agriculture.
Supports a number of proposed local projects around the world, led by extraordinary people who are experienced in biodynamics, and who will create impactful and inspiring change; not just to the soil and fashion supply chain, but to their local communities, wildlife and surrounding ecosystem. These will act as pilot projects to showcase their success, to implement more projects in other locations in the future.
Donors who are businesses find great communication value by choosing to support a farm project. They receive heartwarming content to share with their communities as the supported project develops and completes.
