Today's show features information on the US Cotton Protocol- what it is and new developments.
According to trustuscotton.org, The U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol’s vision is to set a new standard in sustainable cotton production where full transparency is a reality and continuous improvement to improve our environmental footprint is the central goal.
Launched in 2020, the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol is built on a foundation of robust data capture, aggregation, and reporting that drives continuous improvement across six key sustainability metrics – water use, energy efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions, soil conservation, soil carbon, and land use – and is the world’s first sustainable cotton fiber program to offer article-level supply chain transparency.
