Sustainability means different things to different people.  This workshop will provide context, educational materials and examples to illustrate and communicate about the innovations and management practices that have enabled cotton producers to provide food, feed and fiber for an ever-expanding population while simultaneously demonstrating a consistent and marked reduction in its environmental “fieldprint”.
