In a record-breaking event attended by close to 500 delegates, the three leading carbon calculators have explained what this collaboration means for users across the agri-food supply chain, and have invited everyone to join us on this journey. Watch the recording below.
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.
The award-winning farm carbon calculator, Agrecalc, is showcasing its state-of-the-art version of the platform – Agrecalc Cloud – within the SRUC pavilion, on 7th Avenue, next to the Main Ring.
For the first time, Agrecalc will be attending the Groundswell Festival in June 2024. Visit our stand in the Pasture Field – B15.
As part of our commitment in supporting farmers improve their efficiencies, Agrecalc featured recently in an episode of the Welsh farming programme, Ffermio. In this episode, an oversimplified statement challenged the results of our soil test carbon module which resulted in a net zero position for a farm featured in a previous episode. This article clarifies our position.
We are proud to announce that the entire Agrecalc team has achieved Carbon Literacy certification. This important accreditation was awarded after in-depth assessments conducted by the environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful in collaboration with SAC Consulting (part of SRUC).
Setting up a living lab with coppice willow for cattle grazing is something relatively alien in the British farming landscape. Professor John Gilliland shares the experience he synthesised and put to practice on his farm, with an aim to understand how willow grazing decreases methane emissions from ruminants and delivers other benefits, such as reducing runoff risk and preventing erosion in riparian strips.
