Cotton Australia's data dashboard reported on Australian cotton information across a range of metrics, including production, yield, quality, and social and environmental sustainability.
Using a combination of cotton industry research and survey data, government and publicly available sources, the user-friendly dashboard contained over 70 data sets, from export market results to progress against sustainability targets and improvements in farming practices.
The Australian cotton industry, the first in Australian agriculture to independently assess its environmental impact in 1991, has been working to improve its sustainability ever since. Proud of its progress, the industry recognizes that there is still more to achieve. Managing sustainability, like growing cotton, is a complex process. The industry doesn't claim to be perfect but aims to lead in sustainable cotton production globally.
The Australian Cotton industry releases an annual sustainability update, and a comprehensive sustainability report every five years.
