Trade association Cotton Australia had featured at the recently held 2022 Textile Exchange Conference, a sustainability conference and trade exhibition, thanks to its Cotton to Market programme. Over 300 brands, retailers, and interested parties heard Cotton Australia’s strategy lead Brooke Summers present on myBMP and the industry’s ongoing efforts in biodiversity.

More than 1,000 people attended the 2022 Textile Exchange Conference, hearing strong messages from Australia that farmers need to co-design strategies at the global level to ensure they are meaningful at the farm level, according to a press release by Cotton Australia.

The conference attendance is one of the activities funded by the government ATMAC grant that has enabled Cotton Australia and ACSA to attend events like this to share Australia’s experiences.

“myBMP (best management practices) is a voluntary farm and environmental management system which provides self-assessment mechanisms, practical tools and auditing processes to ensure that Australian cotton is produced according to best practice,” according to the myBMP website.

The 2022 Textile Exchange Conference was held at Colorado Springs in the US from November 14–18, 2022.
