How Much Water is Used for Farming?
70% of the world’s freshwater is consumed by agriculture and 40% of this is wasted because of inadequate irrigation systems, evaporation and poor water management. This is a staggering figure and with clean freshwater becoming more scarce, it’s important that we all are careful with the amount we use. With global populations continuing to rise […]
Driving Sustainable Coffee Farming with Blue Harvest and the Cool Farm Tool
At the Cracking the Nut conference in Abuja, Nigeria, Oscar Fuentes and Olaf Westermann from Catholic Relief Services (CRS) highlighted how the Blue Harvest Regenerative program, alongside the Cool Farm Tool (CFT), is helping transform coffee farming in Nicaragua and Honduras. By focusing on regenerative agriculture, the program supports coffee farmers with environmentally friendly practices […]
Getting Resourced – Making the Internal Case for Regenerative Agriculture
The second session of the Regen Reflections series, co-hosted by SAI Platform and the Cool Farm Alliance, gathered over 130 practitioners to explore how organisations can align resources and secure buy-in to scale regenerative agriculture. While sector discussions importantly focus on building a compelling value proposition for farmers, it is also critical that in parallel, […]
How to Reduce Carbon Footprint in Agriculture
The agriculture industry is having a big impact on greenhouse gas emissions. As the global population grows, so does the demand for food, making it essential for farms to find ways to reduce their carbon footprint. With increasing pressure on food production, adopting sustainable practices is more important than ever to minimise environmental impact while […]

What is Biodiversity and Why Is It Important?
Imagine a world where the intricate web of life begins to unravel, where species vanish silently, ecosystems crumble, and the very balance that sustains life on Earth teeters on the edge. This is the hidden crisis of biodiversity loss, a challenge more urgent than ever. Despite its crucial role in maintaining healthy ecosystems, biodiversity often […]
Major Farm Carbon Calculators hosted joint webinar to discuss Harmonising Methodologies in Calculating GHG Emissions
We have been overwhelmed by the level of interest and engagement from the farming and agricultural industry, reflecting the critical need for transparent and accurate tools in carbon measurement. On September 11, 2024, Farm Carbon Toolkit, Cool Farm Alliance, and Agrecalc hosted a joint webinar to discuss their newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aimed […]
Epoch integrates with Cool Farm Tool to provide comprehensive Scope 3 emissions for agriculture and forestry-linked supply chains
Agriculture and forestry-linked supply chains contribute over 9 Gt of CO2e emissions a year, with over 6 Gt of those emissions linked to commodities produced in the Global South – part of the world that is marred by measurement and data challenges. The Epoch-CFT integration significantly simplifies measurement at scale by solving for the needs […]
How to Increase the Biodiversity on Your Farm
The sharp decrease in biodiversity has been recognised as an environmental emergency. Modern agriculture’s emphasis on maximising production to meet increased demands in food has resulted in habitats being destroyed which has contributed towards this decline. Insects, birds and animals play a vital role in biodiversity. A balance needs to be found on farms where […]
