The Better Cotton Conference 2025, set to take place in Izmir, Turkey, is poised to bring together leaders, innovators, and stakeholders from across the global cotton industry for two days of dynamic discussions and action-oriented dialogue. Under the theme “It Starts with Farmers,” the conference aims to spotlight the foundational role of cotton farmers in creating a more sustainable, equitable, and climate-resilient future for the industry.
Participants will explore a diverse range of topics including climate adaptation, regenerative agricultural practices, gender equality in farming communities, and supply chain transparency. With sustainability at the core, the conference encourages collaboration across sectors—from farmers and suppliers to retailers and policymakers—to address shared challenges and create lasting impact.
A key feature of the event will be immersive field visits, providing attendees the opportunity to experience cotton farming in practice and engage directly with local producers. This hands-on approach is expected to deepen understanding and spark new ideas for sustainable innovation.
All plenary sessions will be live-streamed in both English and Turkish, allowing for inclusive participation regardless of geographic location. The hybrid format enhances accessibility and ensures that critical conversations are shared across global audiences.
As the cotton sector faces growing environmental and social pressures, the Better Cotton Conference 2025 presents a timely platform to rethink strategies and reaffirm commitments to sustainability, starting at the source with farmers.
