Cotton is the dirtiest crop on the planet. One woman is out to change that.
Synopsis
Cotton is one of the dirtiest crops on the planet and scientist, Caroline Davis, is working to change that. She’s elated to discover an ancient strain of cotton that is naturally pest-resistant and colorful. When her employer rejects the idea, Carol takes it upon herself. After years of selective plant breeding, she succeeds in producing a commercially viable, pest-resistance and dye-free cotton. Will the fears of local conventional farmers squelch her clean-cotton revolution?
