Farmer-Founded Brands Will Save American Fashion
Today, over 70% of fashion fibers are petroleum-based. Fast fashion fills landfills and rural US communities crumble as production is sent overseas. Meanwhile, natural fibers are wasted. Brands, Range Revolution and Duckworth, are rebuilding American fiber chains to empower farmers, rebuild soil, reduce waste, support rural communities and reframe consumption. In this panel, Ed Roberson (Mountain and Prairie Podcast), Cate Havstad-Casad (Range Revolution) and Mike Somerby (Duckworth) explore rebuilding US fiber supply chains to regenerate people, planet and community.
