Agrecalc, the leading independent farm carbon calculator, is proud to announce a new collaboration with Black Bull Biochar to introduce a cutting-edge biochar module within its platform.
Funding has been granted for five separate consortia of research organisations, that will carry out cutting-edge research into the interlinking themes of soil health, agricultural systems and land use change.
Agrecalc is involved in two of the five topics.
You may have heard about the new development in Scotland called Whole Farm Plan. It involves various activities and plans that have to be put in place in the next three years, in order to be able to claim Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) payments. In this blog we’re going to focus on what that means for carbon audits.
Due to high demand, the Scottish Government has put a temporary pause on processing FAS Carbon Audits. Agrecalc users should continue to tick the FAS box (version 1) or toggle the FAS button (Agrecalc Cloud), or alternatively apply through Preparing for Sustainable farming (PSF) scheme on the ScotGov website.
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.
