Farm to Fashion Systems Studio

This program begins with systems seminars and lifecycle methods labs in Ahmedabad before moving into active industrial textile corridors. Participants engage in structured field visits (permissions-based), compliance workshops, and stakeholder mapping sessions that reveal how production systems function under environmental and trade pressures.

Comparative sessions explore craft-to-industry transitions and the economics of export competitiveness. The program culminates in Delhi with policy clinics and structured output labs, where students produce sustainability audits and sourcing briefs suitable for academic evaluation.

Participants will:

Apply lifecycle assessment tools to real textile production systems.
Analyze compliance frameworks, certifications, and export standards.
Evaluate infrastructure’s role in competitiveness and sustainability.
Design traceability and circular economy interventions.
Produce assessable sustainability audits and sourcing strategies.
