Today, 11 February, is International Day of Women and Girls in Science. So today, and everyday, we recognise and celebrate the enormous contribution women make in cotton science: be it in research, development, extension or growing the cotton crop.
The Autumn 2026 edition of Spotlight edition highlights the next phase of on‑farm action through Cotton Low Emissions Intensity Farming Systems (Cotton LEIFS), with grower‑led trials now underway across Qld and NSW. From enhanced efficiency fertilisers and smarter nitrogen use to cover crops like sunn hemp, these projects are testing real-world solutions to cut emissions while maintaining productivity.
