PLATFORM TO MEASURE FARM SUSTAINABILITY (CARBON FOOTPRINT)

Smart Farm

Background

Smart Farm is a platform dedicated to farmers. Because of the changing global climate Smart Farm wants to help farmers measure their performance in regards to sustainability, and thereby allow them to track their own performance. Furthermore, Smart Farm wants to support the increased efforts of the farmers, especially those who help the environment and the reputation of agriculture.

Identified Problem/Need

Smart Farm needs to create & develop a new feature for the platform, that supports the farmers’ interest in sustainable farming.

 

How to measure sustainability?

Throughout the year, the farmers very simply add their relevant data to the easy to use Smart Farm Platform, to be able to calculate e.g. the total carbon footprint. The CO2 footprint is an import performance indicator for farmers in general.

Based on below data farmers can calculate their CO2 footprint:
