FieldScope: A Breakthrough Tool for Quantifying On-Farm Agricultural Practices in Corporate Climate Reporting

November 19, 2024 – New York, NY – HowGood, the leading sustainability intelligence platform for the food industry, today launched FieldScope, a new tool that helps food companies calculate, report, and get credit for the environmental impact of sustainable farming practices. FieldScope provides instant calculations on how agricultural practices affect company emissions, bridging the gap between on-farm initiatives and corporate environmental reporting.

Addressing an Industry-Wide Sustainability Reporting Need

The rise of global sustainability reporting frameworks such as CSRD, SBTi and CDP has required food companies to provide an unprecedented level of granularity in their corporate emissions reports. With this scrutiny has come an increased demand for companies to not only accurately measure their impact, but also demonstrate progress toward reduction. 

Leaders across the food industry have risen to the opportunity. With thousands of new regenerative agriculture pilots and heavy investments in improved agricultural practices, they are indeed making progress toward decarbonizing supply chains. But quantifying the impact of these on-farm practices––and scaling that to the corporate reporting level––is particularly difficult. 

With FieldScope, HowGood is answering the demands of innovative food and beverage companies to quantify, communicate, and capture credit for their on-farm agricultural initiatives. 

“FieldScope has the potential to change the way we understand corporate sustainability,” said Nina DePalma, VP of Product at HowGood. “By reflecting the impact of on-farm practices in company-level emissions reporting, FieldScope reveals the true ROI of investing in regenerative agriculture practices – all visualized in real time. It removes silos, enables agile insights, and allows companies to work more directly with their supply chain partners on meaningful impact reduction.”

Key Benefits of FieldScope

With FieldScope, companies can:

  1. Model Carbon Impacts at the Farm Level: FieldScope provides granular, real-time data on the carbon impact of farm practices like no-tillage and fertilizer use, helping companies identify efficient reduction opportunities and work with suppliers on targeted improvements.
  2. Accurately Calculate Product and Corporate Carbon Footprints
    By incorporating farm-level data, FieldScope provides more precise Product and Corporate Carbon Footprints for internal decision-making and direct customer reporting. 
  3. Account for Regenerative Practices and Carbon Removals
    FieldScope more accurately tracks results from regenerative agriculture initiatives and carbon removal efforts, helping companies get full credit for their investments in sustainable practices.

Empowering the Food Industry to Invest in a Sustainable Future

FieldScope’s integration with HowGood’s broader suite of sustainability intelligence tools will enable food and beverage companies to measure and report the environmental impact of their supply chains with unprecedented accuracy. By streamlining carbon footprinting from the farm to corporate balance sheets, HowGood supports food companies in achieving net zero targets, enhancing supply chain collaboration, and driving meaningful and efficient impact reduction.
