Cotton and Sustainability 2

How will changes in water availability impact the sustainability of cotton? With climate change, we see some changes in how much and what quality of water is available in different regions of the globe. Places that used to depend on rain to grow their crops might see less in the future while other places will deal with increased flooding or sea level changes. Cotton competes with food for water, so we need to keep this in mind when thinking about the future of fashion.
