These Working Groups are where ideas come to life, solutions are shared, and progress is made.Whether refining methods, developing tools, or sharing insights, each Working Group plays a vital role in the growth and success of the Cool Farm Alliance.
Biodiversity (BWG)
The Biodiversity Working Group exists to strengthen the representation of biodiversity in Cool Farm Tool and Cool Farn Alliance more generally. The BWG will consolidate member requirements and centralise engagement on biodiversity to focus and catalyse progress in the development of updated biodiversity methods and tool development.
Dairy & Beef (DBWG)
The DBWG is comprised of CFA member organisations that have common interests in these modules of the CFT, and a desire to work together to maximise knowledge exchange and jointly refine the use of the CFT. This is the longest running working group and was established in 2016 to shepherd a major revision to the dairy and beef pathway.
*NEW* Coffee Subgroup
The Coffee Working Group acts as forum for discussion and collaboration around coffee, the Cool Farm Platform and wider coffee thought leadership; it is a space for Cool Farm members with an interest in coffee to members engage, network, collaborate, express needs, compare interests, and share accomplishments.
GHG Protocol (GHGp)
The primary purpose of the GHGp working group is to ensure that the CFT is consistent with the LSRG and the Scope 3 reporting standard provided by the GHGp. Through our collective expertise, we strive for the CFT to be consistent with the latest GHGp accounting guidelines, promoting sustainability and credibility in agricultural carbon footprint assessments.
Soil Consortium (SC)
The SC exists to strengthen the representation of soils in the CFT. This includes soil GHG fluxes, soil performance and other indicators of soil function in agroecosystems. The SC will consolidate member requirements and centralise engagement on soils to focus and catalyse progress in the development of updated soil methods.
