Does organic fibre farming have a lower carbon footprint than conventional?

Actually, organic farming is thought to produce around 43% less greenhouse gasses than conventional farming. This is due to a variety of things, such as soil health minimal to no use of chemicals, and the synthesizing of nitrogen fertilizers. Organic farming also "stores" around 100-400kg of carbon per hectare in the soil per year (also known as a carbon sink and in case you were wondering, that's a good thing). This makes for one great reason to source organic whenever linen or cotton is required or to seek out top performers in the local farming sector.
