Cotton at the Textile Exchange Conference in Vancouver. U.S. Regen, introduced in 2025, is grown under the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol, builds on the program’s established Principles and Criteria, and adds regenerative requirements. Field-level data was collected from 59,094 harvested acres on 469 fields across seven major U.S. cotton-growing states through the Field Partner Program pilot. The findings show that U.S. Regen cotton was produced with 20 percent lower greenhouse gas emissions, 30 percent greater soil carbon sequestration, 75 percent lower soil loss, and a 49 percent improvement in water-use efficiency compared to the established baseline., a national event honoring the role of farmers markets, which ran between August 1, 2026, and September 30, 2026. Ten markets receiving the most public votes are declared the national winners.
