Farm Carbon Calculator
Integrated decision support system, based on a user-friendly and intuitive online platform, fully spatially based and with tools for characterisation of agricultural holdings and analysis of environmental performance in terms of Carbon Footprint, based on the principles of Life Cycle Assessment.
The platform applies to the agricultural and agroforestry sector, considering ruminant meat and milk production (cattle and sheep), fodder and pasture, and permanent or temporary crops for animal feed.
Geographic component with a spatiotemporal dimension, with geolocation of agricultural operations and production, and spatialisation of livestock grazing regimes by fences or plots.
Designed for animal production with ruminants (cattle and sheep), it allows for the characterisation of livestock, diet and stock management, production (meat and milk) and animal flows.
Management of agricultural crops (pastures and fodder), with the possibility of preloading crop defaults.
Support for spatial auxiliary information on various vegetation and humidity indices, based on satellite images (updated and historical).
On demand reports on environmental performance in exploration by sector and by product, in terms of greenhouse gas emissions (carbon footprint in CO2eq).
Competitive advantages for the sector:
- producers obtain data that enables them to improve agronomic and economic performance.
- they can demonstrate their environmental performance, improve it and report it reliably and independently to customers (e.g. retailers) or the government.
