Understanding what my number is for on-farm emissions using carbon calculators

As the world is striving towards net zero, sectors that produce emissions are starting to find ways to change their processes to reduce their output of these gases. In the agriculture sector, it’s all about lowering the excess output of emissions through the precise application of fertilisers, herbicides, or other inputs, undertaking more fuel-efficient land management, along with added carbon sequestration projects, such as carbon farming.

Carbon emissions calculators enable the calculation of greenhouse gases produced at a property level. The calculator enables the calculation of total enterprise greenhouse gas emissions calculation as well as emissions intensity per product produced e.g., beef, sheepmeat, wool, grain.

Cam Nicholson will explore the use of carbon calculators on your farm. Ideally, we would like you to bring your own laptop in with your energy/diesel use figures, livestock numbers, the key dates for sales and kg sold.
