The World Climate Farm Standard provides a clear basis for assessing a farm's climate performance. Think of it as a financial statement - only instead of money, what's measured is CO2 equivalents.
Evaluating a farm's carbon footprint can seem daunting - there are many factors to weigh and assessing them rigorously takes careful consideration. The World-Climate Farm Tool makes it straightforward, letting you apply the science behind agricultural greenhouse gas accounting to your own farm.
The Standard pays particular attention to carbon sinks and greenhouse gas emissions. Binding carbon in the soil or woody plants has a strong, positive effect on a farm's climate balance. Combine that with active steps to cut emissions, and a sustainably managed farm can tip the balance - removing more carbon than it releases.
