Farmpact. GHG Accounting in Agricultural Supply Chains.

From field to climate strategy: collect primary data, calculate emissions and take actionwith farmpact. 

Agricultural supply chains are among the most emissions-intensive parts of the value chain – and among the most difficult when it comes to reliable data. Emissions from agricultural products arise at field level and in processing, vary by cultivation method, regionand commodity, and can rarely be captured accurately using standard datasets. At the same time, pressure is mounting: Scope 3 emissions from agriculture are increasingly central to climate targets, reporting obligations and procurement decisions. 

Businesses that want to make their agricultural supply chains climate-transparent need primary data directly from the field and fromprocessing – and a methodology that turns this data into reliable product carbon footprints and concrete climate action plans. Withoutthis foundation, reduction targets remain vague and climate claims remain vulnerable. 

With farmpact, we provide a specialised software platform and the expertise to make this happen: from an initial overview of supplier maturity and data availability, through primary data collection with farmers and suppliers, to the development of climate measuresacross the entire agri-food supply chain.

Your Benefits

  • Reliable product carbon footprints instead of estimates: Primary data from cultivation, processing and transport replace genericaverages. The result: product-specific greenhouse gas (GHG) balancesProduct Carbon Footprints (PCFs) – that withstand expert scrutiny and can be used for climate reports, procurement decisions and certifications.
  • Reduce Scope 3 emissions and secure climate targets: Reliable supply chain data makes it possible to identify emission hotspots, assess reduction potential and develop Science Based Targets (SBTi) on a solid foundation. Businesses gain the basis they need to direct climate measures where they have the greatest impact.
  • Identify inefficiencies and reduce supply chain risks: A supply chain-wide emissions analysis reveals where raw materials, transport routes or production processes generate unnecessary emissions – and often unnecessary costs. This enables targetedmeasures that strengthen resilience and improve ESG positioning with capital markets and trading partners.

Our Approach: GHG Accounting in Agricultural Supply Chains with farmpact 

We collect primary data directly from your suppliers and farmers, calculate reliable product carbon footprints and work with you to develop concrete climate measures – all from a single source. 

Our platform farmpact covers the entire supply chain: from individual fields and farms through primary processing to logistics. To integrate results into your corporate GHG balance and CSRD reporting, farmpact can be connected to your existing ESG softwarelandscape. No data silos – just one coherent system from field to report. 

Prioritise suppliers and identify data gaps with farmpact Align

We collect primary data directly from your suppliers and farmers, calculate reliable product carbon footprints and work with you to develop concrete climate measures – all from a single source.

Collect primary data with farmpact Accounting

Through farmpact Accounting, farmers, producer groups and processing facilities enter their activity data directly into the platform – in a structured, guided and high-quality process. Data captured includes soil management, fertiliser use, energy consumption, land useand transport. The platform is scalable and multilingual, enabling even large international supplier networks to be systematicallyintegrated. The outcome: primary data that replaces standard values and measurably improves the quality of your GHG balance in the areas that matter most. 

Calculate product carbon footprints and Scope 3 GHG balance

Based on the collected primary data, we calculate product- and supply chain-specific GHG balancescovering agricultural production, processing and transport. The calculations are aligned with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) requirements and cover all relevant emission sources along the supply chain. By connecting farmpact to your ESG software landscape, results can be integrated directlyinto your corporate GHG balance and CSRD reportingwithout duplicating data. 

Develop climate measures with farmpact Action

Knowing your emissions is the first step – reducing them is the goal. With farmpact Action, we assess reduction potential and feasibility: from regenerative agriculture and low-emission transport to measures in processing. Together with your suppliers, wedevelop concrete climate action plans, agree on measurable commitments and track progress continuously in the platform. The result: a climate roadmap grounded in real dataone that shows what actually works. 

Build supplier capacity and establish ongoing monitoring

Climate action in agricultural supply chains only succeeds in collaboration with suppliers. We support you in systematically engagingfarmers and cooperatives: through training on GHG calculation and climate measures, clearly structured communication processes, and a platform through which suppliers can independently update their data on an ongoing basis. What begins as a one-time datacollection becomes a permanent monitoring systemone that grows with your supply chain.
