The Summer 2023-24 edition of CRDC's Spotlight takes a deep dive into circularity, which is one of CRDC’s new investment areas under Clever Cotton. It looks at the end-of-life management of cotton garments and fabrics and how returning them to the soil in cotton fields may be a solution to Australia’s textile waste problem.
The Winter 2026 edition of Spotlight highlights how Australia’s cotton industry is tackling real on‑farm risks through practical research, grower‑led trials and new innovation. Across this edition, you’ll find a strong focus on improving disease identification and management through expanded diagnostics, building drought resilience through on‑farm trials, and testing new approaches to nitrogen use.
CRDC has appointed respected agricultural industry leader Georgina Pengilley as its Managing Director, ushering in a new era of research, development and extension (RD&E) leadership for Australian cotton growers.
