Innovation Forum insights – Leveraging technology for carbon accounting in agriculture. Peter Bunce, vice president and head of cotton and microbials at Indigo, talks with me about the momentum behind companies addressing scope 3 emissions, particularly in the agriculture sector. We discuss the importance of leveraging technology and partnerships to collect and analyse data efficiently, reducing the burden on farmers while ensuring accurate carbon accounting. Peter also highlights the potential of voluntary carbon markets to drive sustainable farming practices and warns against delaying progress on carbon reduction due to challenges in addressing biodiversity impacts.

Helping people and business thrive within the planetary boundaries / Ashridge accredited Executive Coach / Author
In my last post, I was referring to thoughts of my colleague Matthias Berninger about what it takes to leaders and society to dare to innovate. One conclusion: Leadership is at the heart of both, innovation and transformation. Let me today share a link to Jens Hartmann illustrating how that could look like...
In agriculture, taking an outcome-based approach is crucial. This means our strategies go further than traditional methods, focusing on creating comprehensive solutions that foster a sustainable future. Central to this is #regenerativeagriculture, which we underpin by key principles: 1. Consistently covering the soil to protect and nourish it. 2. Implementing diverse crop rotations to maintain soil health. 3. Minimising soil disturbance to uphold its structural integrity. 4. Optimising resources to ensure minimal impact and maximal yield. We recognise that we are in an era of active transition. Historically, agriculture's tools—#seeds & #traits, crop protection, and #digital technology—stood as separate entities. But today, the evolving demands of modern agriculture necessitate a unified, integrated approach. These tools, combined sensibly, can increase agricultural productivity, yield tangible economic value for farmers, and promote ecological benefits. Our Bayer | Crop Science methodology is future-centric and holistic to enhance resilience against unpredictable climatic variables. It also foresees opportunities for farmers, from new revenue streams, such as compensation for carbon sequestration, to compliance with evolving climate directives. Furthermore, the integration of #digital technology and #agtech in regenerative agriculture enables traceability in the food chain. It helps connect what is happening on the farm to consumers who are demanding and buying food with new expectations. The path ahead might be undefined in some respects, but with regenerative methods, the future looks promising and #TheFutureIsRegenerative.

🌽 Heading to Groundswell Agriculture? Regenerative agriculture is gaining momentum for its focus on ecosystem health, biodiversity, and climate resilience. Complementing this movement is #NatureTech - a suite of technologies and approaches driving efficiency and sustainability in farming. From AI-driven soil sensors to precision agriculture tools, NatureTech aims to enhance soil quality, optimise nutrient use, and support natural ecosystems. Within this landscape, a myriad of programs and support initiatives form a disparate collection—from government programmes like the Sustainable Farming Incentive to private companies looking to manage their ESG factors. This article integrates these elements, shedding light on the opportunities and challenges within the industry. It is key that these solutions are developed to meet industry need, and with the consideration for farm productivity and profitability in mind. https://lnkd.in/eW4DyMqM #conservationtech #agritech #regenerativefarming
