Over the last several years, cotton has been steadily losing market share to synthetic fibers in the garment industry. One perception for this is cotton production is not environmentally sustainable. Thus, the United States (U.S.) cotton industry must document the sustainability and environmental footprint of cotton production in the U.S. This research focused on developing a baseline for the environmental footprint of cotton production in Georgia using Field to Markets Fieldprint Calculator. Data was collected, analyzed and used to develop an index of per pound resource impacts to produce cotton lint on land use, soil conservation, soil carbon, irrigation, energy, greenhouse gas emissions, and water quality. Producer fieldprint scores and production practices were analyzed to determine the economic viability of cotton production. The results of this research determined cotton production can be a sustainable and profitable enterprise in Georgia.
