If the Cool Farm Alliance was a vehicle, and the Cool Farm Tool the engine, the working groups would be the wheels—spinning us forward into new territories of innovation and sustainability. These groups are where ideas come to life, solutions are shared, and progress is made.
Our Working Groups provide a space for members to connect, collaborate, and drive positive change together. 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.
*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.
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.
Subgroups: Soil Health, Annual SOC
Technology Partners (TPWG)
The objective of the TPWG is to provide independent guidance to the Cool Farm Secretariat in the following key areas:
1. Development of the APIs including input on data standards, data ethics and interoperability.
2. Commercial model for technology partners – technical and financial aspects.
3. A framework for collaboration
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.
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.
Perennials
The Perennial Working Group acts as forum for discussion and collaboration around perennial crops, the Cool Farm Platform and wider perennial crop thought leadership; it is a space for Cool Farm members with an interest in perennial crops to engage, network, collaborate, express needs, compare interests, and share accomplishments.
