Collecting farm-level sustainability metrics, such as GHG emissions, fertilizer application, irrigation water use, and biodiversity provides valuable insights into your company’s environmental impact and progress toward sustainability goals. During this session, TSC’s ag metrics partners will walk tier-one suppliers through how to use the Potato Sustainability Alliance’s program and Syngenta’s Cropwise™ Sustainability app powered by the Sustainable Outcomes in Agriculture (SOA) standard to gain aggregate reporting insights and to answer relevant criteria and indicator practices for THESIS.
