Understanding your scope 3 emissions- using simple modelling at farm level to target reduction strategies

Megan Bryant

Held on 23rd May 2023 [BST] – UK Focused Session

The dairy industry faces the challenge of improving its environmental sustainability. Measuring a farm’s GHG emissions intensity is a starting point but on its own is not enough. A more engaging, data-driven approach which helps farmers and their advisors to simply understand the biggest wins based on their individual farm circumstances is likely to be more successful.
