The online cotton tool unveiled with the report will help businesses determine the management interventions they should prioritise depending on their position in the cotton supply chain. The tool is based on a technical report that challenges current management practices by providing a robust systematic review of scientific and accessible evidence. The online tool assesses various types of management practices and their impacts on natural capital, such as water, biodiversity and soil.
Frank Terhorst, Global Head of Seeds at Bayer, said: “Cotton is a core crop for Bayer – with solutions for farmers ranging from high-quality seeds to cutting edge crop protection products, we lay the foundations for a sustainable production.”
Jeff Hogue, Chief Sustainability Officer at C&A, said: “At C&A we rely on more sustainable cotton and we feel that better understanding the impacts and dependencies on the natural capital at the growing phase is a fundamental part of ensuring more sustainably grown cotton.” (SH)
