AIMING TO BE WORLD LEADERS IN SUSTAINABLE COTTON PRODUCTION
The vast majority of Australian cotton growers are responsible, ethical farmers with a strong track record of looking after the natural environment and their workers. From the careful preparation of the soil, right through to harvest and beyond Australian cotton growers have made sustainability central to the way they do business.
