Brief about this service
Reducing the carbon footprint of agricultural projects means reducing the amount of greenhouse gases produced by the agricultural project, such as those produced by the use of fuel to operate agricultural equipment, irrigation systems, and the use of chemical fertilizers. Environmental sustainability of agricultural projects has become a strategic necessity, achieving significant reductions in fuel and energy bills, reducing waste, improving waste management, and thus increasing the overall efficiency of the agricultural project. The sustainability of agricultural projects is also among the requirements monitored by governments in the Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, in line with Vision 2030, and the UAE, in line with Vision 2050. It is a necessity because it has become a requirement in European markets, which require sustainability reports to allow you to export your agricultural products. Reducing your carbon footprint also increases your chances of obtaining government support.
Service Details
Our consulting team conducts a field visit to gather information about your farm or agricultural project. We calculate the amount of water and fuel consumed, determine the types of fuel used to operate equipment, irrigation systems, and other data.
The consulting team uses technical analysis tools based on the GHG Protocol to accurately calculate your agricultural project's emissions, and data is classified according to the protocol.
We work to develop measures to ensure emissions reduction, which may include system improvements or reliance on renewable energy sources such as solar panels and other solutions. We provide training for employees, workers, and technicians to enable them to monitor key indicators, and we develop a template for updating your footprint annually.
What we offer?
We help you prepare a carbon footprint report for your agricultural project, in line with the agricultural sustainability initiatives issued by the Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture. This supports your applications for programs such as the Rural Support Program or the Baladi System, which have begun to encourage reducing the environmental footprint.
If you are in the UAE, we prepare a carbon footprint report that meets the requirements of the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment and initiatives such as the UAE Climate Neutrality Strategy 2050. This facilitates your dealings with municipalities and increases your agricultural project's chances of obtaining green financing programs.
