This project funding supported a review of the research and development investments within its Responsible Landscape Management Theme bringing together a group of CRDC investment researchers, growers and industry.

A two day Natural Resource Management(NRM) Forum was held in May 2016.

Day one focused on Sustainability: Creating sustainable value to cotton businesses and identifying pathways to impact.

Day two: Science to impact: Future and innovation.

The forum discussed the cotton industry’s R&D needs. From input, the direction of future investments to meet future challenges to maximise impact. The outcomes from the forum were used to advise the Investment Strategy meetings and the Sustainability stakeholder Forum held in later 2016.
