Farmers adopt low-carbon and controlled-release fertilizers plus nitrogen stabilizers; Proba quantifies the impact and issues third-party-certified emission-reduction units aligned with SBTi FLAG and the GHG Protocol. Food companies sourcing from these chains can claim the verified reductions in Scope 3 reporting.
