The launch of the UK Government’s new report by Defra on ‘Harmonisation of Carbon Accounting Tools for Agriculture’, has provided much called for clarity to help accelerate agriculture’s journey towards net-zero.
New Defra report is a milestone for carbon accounting and sustainability in UK agriculture
The report's conclusions, after a year-long study, underline the critical need for robust, accurate, and comprehensive carbon reporting tools in the agricultural sector.
The recommendation to adopt tools that present reliable data, in line with ISO standards 14064:2 and 14067 and the draft GHG Protocol Land Sector and Removals guidance, which are supportive of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), has been met positively by Trinity, whose next generation platform, Sandy, stands out as uniquely delivering on all the required standards and reporting needs for all stakeholders across the food and farming supply chain.
