SEGES, New feature in Mark Online calculates the relative product footprint for the field during the planning phase - Danish news

Product description:

Farmers can now optimize their production towards an expected and relatively low product footprint. Already in the field planning stage, farmers and consultants can calculate which input factors will meet the buyers' requirements for climate impact and adjust their farming practices accordingly. A product footprint is measured in CO2e based on anticipated farming practices, with the ability to see the effects of changes in, for example, the type of fertilizer used and the level of fertilization, all while considering the expected yield.

Expert description:

A new innovative feature in MarkOnline allows farmers to calculate their CO2 emissions during the planning phase. By entering data on crops, fertilizer usage, and farming methods, farmers can obtain an accurate estimate of their climate impact. The feature not only provides insights into the expected CO2 emissions but also offers recommendations for more sustainable practices that can reduce emissions. This tool helps farmers make informed decisions and contributes to a greener future for agriculture. It is unique in that it allows for consideration of CO2 emissions during the planning stage rather than relying on outdated data.
