What does it take to sustain my community for a day

To sustain a First-World community, cotton farmers are put under immense stress.
The amount of cotton used per day by Sydney is approximately 1,854 bales which is equivalent to 420,585 kilograms and needs 30,000 hectares of land to be grown. Thats four times the area needed for an international soccer field.

It takes an immense amount of resources to feed and clothe Sydney, a city of 4.6 million people.

To clothe model farms, a school of approximately.1100 people including staff. It costs approxiamately $76000 to clothe our community annually. Thanks to the farmers of Australia, we can sustain the cotton heavy community of Model Farms.
