Cotton is innovative - cotton as a source of protein 🏆Just recently, researcher Dr. David Fang, Agricultural Research Service U.S. Department of Agriculture, received the International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC) Researcher of the Year award for breeding a cotton variety that contains low levels of gossypol.   Gossypol is incompatible with humans, so the protein-rich seeds cannot be used for human consumption yet. Assuming that an average annual production of 25 million tonnes of fibre results in more than 40 million tonnes of seeds, this is a huge potential source of plant protein. 💡   #cotton #cottonisinnovative #innovation https://lnkd.in/eqDyep_p

Tick tick tick ... #WorldCottonDay is coming! It's only 81 days away, so we have to ask ... What will YOU be doing on October 7 to celebrate cotton? If you don't have an answer to that question, get moving! The world's most important natural fiber needs your help to ensure that important people — legislators, regulators, brands, and most of all, consumers — are aware of the good that cotton brings to our lives every day. Cotton provides the world with: Poverty alleviation Gender equality Climate resilience CO2 sequestration Biodegradability And don't forget that every piece of cotton apparel that replaces polyester keeps microplastics out of our water, or food chains, and our bodies. Once you make your plans for October 7, be sure to add your event to http://worldcottonday.com. The official website is also where journalists and social media influencers go to learn more about World Cotton Day and generate ideas for their upcoming articles and social media posts. It's definitely the place to be if you want the maximum amount of coverage and exposure for your specific event. And it doesn't have to be big or expensive! Just support cotton in a visible way and encourage others to do so, too. If you have questions, need help creating your entry on the website, or need any other resources (such as the World Cotton Day logo in a particular language), please contact ICAC Director of Communications Mike McCue ([email protected]). He can send you credentials that will allow you to create your own entry on http://worldcottonday.com as well as a copy of the manual that explains how to use the site. October 7th is the biggest day of the year for cotton, and the day it is most visible to brands, retailers, legislators, and media outlets, so it's critical that we do everything we can to ensure the world is aware of the advantages of the world's most important natural fiber.

William (Bill) Buckner just said that water is where it’s at. (Note ELICIT PLANT)! Carbon important but water more so. Josette Lewis agreed in almonds with whole orchard recycling (19% better water use efficiency and better soil health and nutrient cycling). Carl Casale emphasized the value of bioinsecticides like Venerate from Pro Farm Group because of the short field re-entry saves labor and leaves no restricted chemical residues. Keith Pitts told a story about microbial contamination (some pathogens) was not coming from their biological but from the synthetic chemical in the mixture!!! But the biological was suspect despite the fact the EPA requires #biopesticides to have zero pathogens.
