Cut crop emissions and deliver on Scope 3 targets

Untitled design (80)

Why fertilizer?

It’s where the biggest emissions are. Fertilizer often accounts for 40–50% of crop emissions, and is still under-addressed.
It’s also where the quickest wins lie. Reductions can be immediate, measurable, and cost-effective, no need to wait for long-term transitions.

Start with the biggest Scope 3 lever in your ag supply chain

Find and act on your biggest reduction opportunities

Map fertilizer-related emissions across supply sheds to pinpoint hotspots, prioritize interventions, and plan farmer rollouts where they cut the most tCO₂e.

Quantify & verify the right way

GHG Protocol–aligned, SBTi FLAG–consistent; VVB-verified Impact Units recorded in the registry for credible Scope 3 use.

Report reductions your buyers and auditors can trust

Verified Impact Units tied to your sourcing regions and suppliers, shed-level attribution and traceability for audit-ready Scope 3 reporting.

How?

Choose the right intervention(s) for your supply chain.

Use proven, ready-now options (e.g., low-carbon fertilizers or nitrogen stabilizers) and match them to crop, region, and grower reality. Compare abatement potential, data needs, and rollout effort with the Intervention Calculator, then certify via Proba methodologies for claimable Scope 3 results.
