A one-day tour of the San Joaquin Valley that will challenge your perceptions about what agriculture is and what it could become.

In October, when the cotton is harvested and farms throughout the state of California are at the height of activity, The Sustainable Cotton Project offers a one-day tour traveling a central loop through the San Joaquin Valley. Participants gain a behind-the-scenes look at the many sides of
cotton production.

Come and see conventional cotton cultivation, the Sustainable Cotton Projects Cleaner Cotton program and learn about the different approaches to sustainability in cotton. A gin tour and a visit with a local doctor are included.
