1.  Chemical pesticides are not used, and this means that biodiversity flourishes in the agroecosystem ( for example, natural pollinators) exist in large numbers, in a way that fosters a balance between pest and beneficial insects. Moreover, by not using synthetic pesticides, the farmer does not pollute his farm ( water, soil, air, plants and him or her self) reducing the chances of contracting diseases caused by the harmful effects of pesticides on the human body, and fiber will be completely free of these substances.

2.  In the production of organic cotton chemical fertilizers are not used, which prevents nitrate generated pollutants entering the soil, that could endanger water that is in the udersoil. The inputs that farmers use can be obtained on their own farms, reducing the cost of growing cotton.

3.  Organic cotton is grown with other crops, either as crop rotations border crops, intercrops, etc. That is, cotton is managed in a logical system of agronomic, economic and social interactions. These interactions enable farmers, especially the small farmers who represent the majority of cotton farmers in the world, to rely on harvests of other crops, which can help balance diets, generate additional income for the family and provide a better balance in the agroecosystem, among other benefits.

4.  The production of organic cotton allows farmers to integrate and manage their production systems. This allows social benefits for communities of small farmers. Moreover, these processes also give access to other certification schemes such as fair prices (fair trade), access to various types of loans and generate more opportunities to develop a community.
