We may also use the term “sustainable intensification.” The idea intent is to take approach a path which aligns environmental and sustainable development objectives or where there is convergence between farmer private interests (eg income, resilience) with lower emissions and other environmental / ecosystem benefits.
GHG Emission Estimates: We are using third party models to estimate the carbon footprint of agricultural products. There are a few tiers of models: “Tier 1 includes low-accuracy methodologies, which can be applied by using the default emission factors provided by the IPCC; Tier 2 methodologies require the use of national emission factors reflecting local pedo-climatic characteristics; finally, Tier 3 methodologies are based on model simulations or in situ measurements.” Source.
