Syngenta says it has integrated Cool Farm Tool, a carbon quantification tool, into its Cropwise Sustainability application. Cool Farm Tool helps growers measure estimated on-farm greenhouse gas emissions, and growers can now pair custom recommendations from Cropwise Sustainability to reduce their environmental footprint, according to a news release.
“We developed the application understanding that data privacy was paramount to growers, agribusinesses, and us, as partners in the sustainability journey,” Jeff Lail, senior data analyst for digital ag solutions for Syngenta, said in the release. “Growers can be confident that their data is secure and only shared when and where they allow it.”
Syngenta developed its Cropwise Sustainability application in 2021 to help growers with actionable insights. The farmer-first tool tracks and measures progress across six outcomes, including water impact and soil health, the company says.
“The on-farm [greenhouse gas] calculator has been designed to empower growers,” Richard Profit, CEO of the Cool Farm Alliance, which owns Cool Farm Tool, said in a release. “It gives growers vital metrics to communicate about sustainability, show benefits of regenerative practices, carbon sequestration, and to report against reduction targets.”
The Cropwise Sustainability application is free for users to download, the release said.
