To satisfy increasing demands for high-value agricultural produce while dealing with demographic growthGrowth and unpredictable climate changes, the agro-sector has withstood the test of time and has proved its value for sustainableSustainable agricultureSustainable agriculture. From crop protection to nutrient supply, aquaculture to horticultureHorticulture and forestry, the materials incrementally enhance the productivityProductivity of the crops while maintaining optimum control of temperature, humidity, and moisture in the cropping media. For decades, the industry has depended on price-competitive synthetic fabrics such as nylon and polypropylene for their durability and longevity. However, the industry has witnessed an impressive change where natural and bio-based materialsBio-based materials hemp, sisal, jute, and coir have taken center stage in investment and planning dialogues due to their effectiveness and reduced resource and disposal footprints. These materials, which lessen the resource and disposal footprints, are the new Holy Grail. This shift is driven by publicly funded sustainabilitySustainability plans, tightening emission regulations, and sectoral emission objectives designed to reward low-emission production. Together, these forces lower development impact expectations, increase investment in low-impact climate-resilient agro-textilesAgro-textile, and create ‘innovationInnovation oceans’ in development contexts with high climate change resilience expectations. This chapter examines the current market trendsMarket trends and the public policies that support the sector’s green growthGrowth, the macroeconomic impact of resource conservation subsidies, production subsidies conditional on greenhouse gasGreenhouse gases emission ceilings, ESG-based reporting, and obligations to design for closed-loop use, all of which are designed to expand the sector’s long-term green penetration framework and boost the innovationInnovation incentive. Using a range of global case study material, this section analyses the model practices, the barriers to their implementation, and the crucial role of strong public–private partnerships. It illustrates how the alignment of market trendsMarket trends with policy support can provide direction for the expansion of sustainableSustainable agro-textileAgro-textile systems in developed and developing countries. Additionally, it defines potential research topics, clarifies the action imperatives, and calls for strong and continued collaborative effort at the global level.
