Understanding your operation’s carbon footprint with AgExpert Today’s farmers know that data is power, and that’s no different when it comes to sustainability. As the emphasis on sustainability continues to grow, AgExpert is adding features that can help farmers manage on-farm practices and meet the evolving demands of the industry. With an AgExpert Premium account, farmers can connect to Holos™, a model developed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, to take advantage of AgExpert’s sustainability features. HOW THE AGEXPERT SUSTAINABILITY MODEL WORKS Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide to improve sustainability and mitigate climate change. Farmers using AgExpert can estimate their carbon sequestration from farm management activities using field area, weather, crop type, tillage activities, manure applications and yield data already entered in FCC AgExpert. The feature estimates a farmer’s carbon storage to provide a better understanding of the overall sustainability impact. This insight helps farmers track and prove the sustainable business management practices already implemented while identifying new practices that could be adopted. In addition to carbon sequestration, the AgExpert Sustainability Model also estimates greenhouse gas emissions from carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) emissions. By measuring emissions combined with how much carbon is being sequestered and stored, AgExpert is helping farmers measure their farm’s sustainability footprint. This will help Canadian farmers make more informed decisions, meeting the evolving needs of the industry.
