The Better Cotton Initiative ( BCI ) said a group of its United States-based cotton growers have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 54 percent in a single season, compared to regional averages. And that impact increased to 77 percent when including carbon removals. The BCI -licensed growers in Arkansas, Mississippi and Missouri implemented four regenerative agricultural practices through a collaborative pilot project with Indigo Ag , sustainable cotton organization and agricultural solutions provider. Those regenerative practices include crop rotation, cover cropping, nitrogen management and no-till farming. Through these practices, the farmers were able to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and sequester carbon that totaled more than 17,000 metric tons over 19,000 acres. Indigo Ag collected and verified the results, generating impact data that allows carbon reductions to be monetized, factoring in the costs of regenerative practice adoption and subsequent benefits per metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent.…
