The Better Cotton Conference involved industry leaders and experts exploring the most important issues in sustainable cotton production including climate action, traceability and data, sustainable livelihoods, and regenerative agriculture, Cotton Australia said on its website.
Morgan, a myBMP certified grower who also participates in the Better Cotton Programme, thereby receiving a premium for his cotton, took part in a panel discussion sharing his knowledge of climate mitigation and adaptation at his farm including his solar-powered pumps and his involvement in cotton circularity trials.
Kay took the opportunity at the opening session of the conference to discuss the Australian cotton industry’s efforts to mitigate climate change.
Over 250 people attended the conference in person and hundreds more online with participants from the entire cotton supply chain. The conference saw a mixture of formats including plenary, breakouts, and interactive workshops.
