In a massive step forward, in June 2024, the three major calculators have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to harmonise the scientific methodologies that power our calculators in the background.
To update our audiences on the progress and invite you to come on this journey wit us, we held a joint webinar in which we outlined the reasons behind the collaboration and the plans on how to move forward.
And you have shown up in amazing numbers! There were 790 people registered for the webinar, and 480, from 38 different countries, joined us live on the day. We understand that some of you have not been able to join us live, and we have sent the recording to everyone who signed up.
We have also got an astounding number of questions – 116 of them – and we’ll be following up with the answers in the next few weeks and months. Look out for our social posts and new blogs – we can assure you that we’ll answer all of those queries to the best of our abilities.
Without further ado, here’s the recording of the webinar:
With comments like ‘Great to see this work happening!’, we can continue with our collaboration with the aim to bring greater consistency, trust and support to the agriculture sector, by providing the insights enabling a positive response to the climate emergency.
Over time, we will look to set up a best practice guide which can offer greater assurances to the sector as well as working on enabling movement of data between Calculators.
[Altohugh] it does indeed appear to be 'early days', I wish you every success ‘in the coming months and years' in the academic and technical collaboration across methodology, ‘languages’, data, etc, towards harmonisation. Let’s hear from you again when you have harmonised [...] crucially, as a common language in dealing with external authorities and related businesses partners.
We will continue to keep you posted via our websites, newsletters and social media channels, so sign up for our newsletters and hit that follow button on Twitter and LinkedIn.
Global Warming Potential, calculated over a 100-year time frame (GWP100), has been the standard, IPCC approved metric for evaluating the impact of greenhouse gases (GHGs) on global warming. However, an alternative metric known as GWP* (GWP-star) is gaining traction, particularly in the context of ruminant livestock emissions.
The themes that prevailed at this summer’s events can be summed up into two main categories: evolution and regenerative farming. Let Agrecalc take you on a journey from conventional intensive farming to a more efficient, sustainable, resilient agricultural system of the future that emphasises the importance of a holistic management systems approach.
The three major farm carbon calculators featured in the Defra Report “Harmonisation of Carbon Accounting Tools for Agriculture – SCF0129″ have announced a collaboration by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), intended to harmonise the methodologies used in calculating the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture.
