Regenerative Agriculture and Textiles Summit to be held this Nov in US

Attending this summit offers an opportunity to accelerate scalability, secure financing, and mitigate the risks of adopting regenerative practices through industry collaboration. Participants can take away and share practical strategies to successfully implement regenerative practices throughout the supply chain. By attending, one can increase efficiency and ensure impactful change by building partnerships with key players across the textiles and food industries. Furthermore, it provides a chance to understand stakeholder challenges, drive solutions, and build partnerships across industries, resulting in the diversification of the supply chain.

The Regenerative Agriculture and Textiles Summit is set to feature industry-leading speakers who are experts in their respective fields. Among the prominent personalities are Liz Hershfield, SVP and Head of Sustainability at J.Crew Group; Byron Rath, Chief Impact Officer at Soil Health Institute; Scott Herndon, President of Field to Market; Megan Meiklejohn, SVP of Supply Chain Innovation at Land to Market; and Karen Wynne, Senior Programme Coordinator at Better Cotton. Their insights and expertise are sure to contribute to a rich and informative experience for all attendees.

With 87 per cent of fibre input incinerated or disposed in landfills, the fashion and textiles industry make up 10 per cent of global carbon emissions and is expected to surge more than 50 per cent by 2030. Although some leading brands are answering calls for more sustainable materials and products, sustaining current conditions of the planet is no longer enough. The need to go beyond sustainability and transition towards restoring and regenerating lands is now paramount. Pressures for change and the climate crisis have significantly increased the need to transition ‘backwards’ to embrace the future of textiles—regenerative agriculture.
