The conference is being held in Amsterdam in the Netherlands with industry leaders and experts exploring the most important issues in sustainable cotton production including climate action, traceability and data, sustainable livelihoods, and regenerative agriculture.
Over 250 people have been attending in person and hundreds more online with participants from the entire cotton supply chain.

Adam took the opportunity at the opening session of the conference to discuss the Australian cotton industry’s efforts to mitigate climate change.
The conference saw a mixture of formats including plenary, breakouts, and interactive workshops.
