Finding data and evidence to support and prove a hypothesis doesn’t need to mean endless hours of digging for the right information.

In your course of work, you may need to inform policy and / or deliver research outcomes, based on a quality data source, with transparent methodology that can confirm it. You may also need to predict impact of applied mitigations, without the cost and resources required to run in situ trials, using best available scientific evidence. You would love to be able to visualise trends based on year-on-year comparisons.

You need to be able to rely on a calculator whose modelling methodology is based on greenhouse gas reporting guidelines published by the IPCC for national inventories, and also incorporates more specific figures from the UK National Greenhouse Gas Inventory.

Streamline research to save time

We understand the tight timelines and limited resources which govern research projects and seek to provide farm-level GHG estimations with as little friction as possible. Our work with research institutions enables greenhouse gas emission modelling to be added to research projects without the time and effort required to build a model from scratch.

Collaborate on new features

As researchers, you often need a calculator that is more complex than those used by industry. Agrecalc is actively involved in research projects that help further both the science and the calculator. Would you like to be involved? Contact our team to discuss joint research options.

Access validated data

If you don’t need to do the calculations yourself, tailored data packets might just be up your alley. Interrogate the data yourself, without the tedious input process. Agrecalc has a large database of farm information collected over the years, and validated by experienced consultants.

Accurately measure impact with real-life data

With the farm data ready for your research, you can spend less time on the discovery process, and more time on furthering the science and developments. Compare year-on-year progress when you need to confirm a hypothesis – and when it comes to alignment with the recognised methodologies, we’ve got you covered.

Use the tool for educational purposes

Our model can also be used as an educational tool for students at all levels of education for learning about major sources of agricultural GHG emissions and mitigation options. Seminars and assignments using the Agrecalc model have been introduced across undergraduate and postgraduate courses at SRUC, helping students understand farm-level data and agricultural systems modelling.

Extending a hand to undergraduate, MSc, and PhD students

As Agrecalc is committed to driving the science forward, we are extending a call to undergraduate and higher education students. Contact us to discuss how licences for our software can assist you in your studies.

A story from a researcher like you

Agrecalc comes out on top among European farmers in CCC project

As research knows no borders, Agrecalc was used in Climate Care Cattle (CCC) Farming Systems. This was a European project with a number of member countries from the Netherlands, France, Italy, Germany, Latvia, Poland and Lithuania, as well as Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) in the UK, with farms that were mainly based in Scotland and to a smaller degree in the north of England. Plus, there are several other research-oriented examples on our Case Studies page.

As a researcher, you collaborate with:

Farm and land-based businesses

• Reduce input use and cost
• Secure government support
• Secure market and premiums

Government and levy bodies

• Support schemes, subsidies and grants
• Inform government climate targets
• Analyse data anonymously and safely

Sustainability manager

• Manage thousands of farms
• Benchmark your performers
• Report on sustainability progress
