Summary
The Know and Show your Carbon Footprint discovery phase encompassed the commodity supply chain and involved identifying the commodity specific carbon footprint calculation drivers, needs, and existing knowledge, tools and data. This uncovered the pain-points, needs and opportunities in relation to carbon footprint calculation. Engagement in this project included Primary producers/growers; agronomists/advisors; software providers; retailers/corporates; researchers; and actors along the breadth of the commodity supply chain.
Objectives
Develop in-depth understanding of the current pain points and commodity-specific needs of the growers, commercial players and solution providers. This will inform further development of a digital solution that enables farmers, fishers and foresters (growers) to estimate their enterprise’s carbon footprint and make better informed decisions to reduce emissions and capture new opportunities.
Benefits to industry
Further insight into the carbon footprint calculation.
MLA action
The discovery phase has informed the carbon footprint calculation drivers/needs/existing knowledge, tools and data, gap analysis, and solution design. This will inform further investment in the Know & Show solution.
