EPN Signature Earth Day Event - Monday, April 21, 2025: Farm to Fashion: Natural fiber footprints and futures
On Earth Day 2025, Ohio State’s Environmental Professionals Network will host a free event examining the sustainability stories of natural fibers from farm to fashion. Ensuring sustainability in the fashion industry requires a significant variety of leaders at different stages of the supply chain, ranging from agricultural producers to fashion designers and even to consumers, to implement pro-environmental decisions. From reducing the impact of fiber production by employing regenerative agricultural practices, to limiting carbon emissions by transitioning from importing fibers to sourcing fibers from local farms, and to encouraging consumers to opt for purchasing clothing that is sustainably sourced, there is a lot of ground to cover in the “farm to fashion” space.
