Measuring and reporting on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions – particularly Scope 3 emissions – for farms in complex supply chains is a shared challenge for many agricultural sustainability systems.
Following a baseline study of their GHG emissions and a past collaboration to develop principles for GHG data collection, accounting and reporting, Better Cotton sought to take this work further – exploring how to apply these recommendations inter-operably and inclusively, with a focus on agricultural commodity production.
This project explored existing principles for GHG data collection, accounting and reporting in agricultural commodity production and how this can be applied inter-operably and inclusively. It also built on past work to promote and advocate, with partners, for the role of agricultural commodity standards in GHG accounting, reporting, claims and farmer incentives.
