This approach also supports farmers in diversifying their incomes and becoming more resilient to climate change. In the cotton industry, regenerative sourcing has demonstrated significant promise, with initial pilot programs indicating the potential for transformative impact. <br><br></div><div>Through a series of events, Innovation Forum showcased CottonConnect’s successful regenerative cotton farming programme in Gujarat, India. These events highlighted CottonConnect’s journey, best practices, and lessons learned; and explored the potential for scaling such programmes to a broader landscape level.<br><br><strong><em>Film: </em></strong><strong>Regenerative cotton – A supply chain revolution in the making?</strong> <br><br></div><div>In January 2024, Innovation Forum’s Toby Webb and Mallen Baker travelled to Gujarat, India, to produce a documentary exploring the the area’s cotton value chain. The film highlights CottonConnect's regenerative farming initiatives with smallholder farmers, focusing on farmer-centric approaches to promoting regenerative agriculture, emphasising farmer prosperity, animal welfare, and climate resilience. The documentary traces the journey of cotton from farm to processing, showcasing how CottonConnect uses traceability technology to distinguish regenerative cotton. <br><a href="https://www.innovationforum.co.uk/articles/regenerative-cotton-a-supply-chain-revolution-in-the-making"><figure class="attachment attachment--preview" data-trix-attachment="{"contentType":"image","height":100,"url":"https://innovationforum.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/spina/photo/file/8169/Button__4_.png","width":1200}" data-trix-content-type="image"><img src="https://innovationforum.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/spina/photo/file/8169/Button__4_.png" width="1200" height="100"><figcaption class="attachment__caption"></figcaption></figure></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG-v9sb7PKI"><figure class="attachment attachment--preview" data-trix-attachment="{"contentType":"image","height":100,"url":"https://innovationforum.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/spina/photo/file/8170/Button__5_.png","width":1200}" data-trix-content-type="image"><img src="https://innovationforum.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/spina/photo/file/8170/Button__5_.png" width="1200" height="100"><figcaption class="attachment__caption"></figcaption></figure></a><br><strong><em>Webinar: </em></strong><strong>The future of cotton farming: scaling regenerative sourcing</strong> <br><br></div><div>To further explore aspects of this in more detail, CottonConnect and Innovation Forum hosted a webinar on June 6th 2024.
