Fibershed
Mission
Fibershed is a non-profit organization that develops regional fiber systems that build ecosystem and community health. Our work expands opportunities to implement climate benefitting agriculture, rebuild regional manufacturing, and connect end-users to the source of our fiber through education. We transform the economic systems behind the production of material culture to mitigate climate change, improve health, and contribute to racial and economic equity.
Vision
We envision a textile system that embraces the values of de-colonized and equitable soil-to-skin processes. We will strengthen an international system of diverse textile communities that directly enhance regional economies for the purpose of generating permanent and lasting systems of localized fiber production. These regional land regenerating production systems will diminish pressure on the ecologically undermined areas of the world. We see a nourishing tradition emerging that connects the wearer to local fields where clothes are grown in a system that can last for countless generations into the future. Through a host of scientifically vetted soil carbon enhancing practices, our supply chains will create ‘climate beneficial’ clothing that will become the new standard. We envision a world looking to rapidly mitigate the effects of climate change where consumers, manufacturers, designers, and ecologists collectively rethink and reimagine the lifecycle of garments.
Goals
- 1.Climate Beneficial Program Goal: Expand the adoption of Climate BeneficialTM practices across broader regions, furthering our mission to enhance soil health and ecosystem resilience and facilitate the shift from conventional farming to Climate-Smart fiber production, emphasizing sustainable agricultural practices.
- 2.Regional Textile Economies Goal: Foster regional textile economies that prioritize sustainability, support local economies, and reduce environmental impact. Expand the Fibershed network globally to promote sustainable, regionally-focused textile systems. Ensure these systems are equitable, providing fair wages, safe working conditions, and inclusive benefits for all, from farmers to consumers.
- 3.Education and Advocacy Goals: Raise awareness: Increase public understanding of sustainable textile practices and the importance of climate-benefiting solutions through targeted educational programs. Influence policy: Advocate for systemic change in the textile industry by shaping policies that promote environmental sustainability, social equity, and the adoption of nature-based solutions.
