With the theme #HEREFORGOOD, delegates can expect to be informed and challenged by a range of technical and non-technical topics that puts Australian cotton at the cutting edge of agriculture, at the Australian Cotton Conference that will begin from August 16. The conference will be hosted by Cotton Australia and the Australian Cotton Shippers Association.

The conference will host sessions on topics such as opportunities for carbon and nitrogen farming, developments and opportunities for smart sensing in cotton, doing business differently, tax issues for carbon farming, measuring the social wellbeing of the cotton industry in Australia, smart sensing and automation, taking cotton’s pulse in the market, driving WUE by replacing flood systems with simple low cost drip and such others, the case for changing our understanding of temperature responses of cotton, Bayer Crop Science cotton pipeline and research priorities, moving the farm to carbon energy neutrality, Fish entrainment: A mitigation prioritisation process, the organisers said.

The delegates will celebrate the end of conference at the gala 2022 Australian Cotton Industry Awards Dinner.
