Farm Carbon Toolkit: Farm Carbon Connect - a holistic and inclusive platform to improve accuracy, transparency, user-friendliness, and cost-effectiveness of existing on-farm software.

农业为更广泛的英国农业食品工业提供了61%的原材料，农业食品工业对国民经济的GVA价值约为1080亿英镑，并提供370万个就业岗位。农业食品部门每年为英国创造约180亿英镑的出口总收入（NFU,2017）。农业占英国温室气体排放总量的10% （CCC,2020）。在全球范围内，农业、林业和土地利用占温室气体排放量的18%。NFU等组织已经设定了到2040年英格兰和威尔士农业温室气体净零排放的目标，以支持英国到2050年实现净零排放的雄心（NFU,2020）。农场碳工具包、Agrimetrics、Velcourt和作物健康与保护有限公司（CHAP）将农学家和数据科学家专家与全球农业温室气体排放领导者结合在一起，创建了农场碳连接。这个工业研究项目将探索创新的新方法，并提供一个先进的碳计算器，用于对整个农场的碳足迹进行建模，并改善农业部门使用的数字工具之间的数据访问和互操作性。该联盟开发有意义、准确和吸引人的农场碳数据的方法，支持FCT的长期目标，即赋权和激励农民和更广泛的粮食系统实现其净零目标，同时建立有弹性、公平的企业。该项目预计将为FCT带来变革性的影响，通过与农民、农艺师和企业合作，开辟新的市场，创造收入和团队发展，提供有利于英国经济的创新解决方案。

Agriculture provides 61% of the raw materials for the wider UK agri-food industry which is worth ~£108bn of GVA to the national economy and provides \>3.7 million jobs. The agri-food sector generates ~£18bn of gross export earnings for the UK per year (NFU,2017).Agriculture accounts for 10% of total GHG emissions in the UK (CCC,2020). Globally, agriculture, forestry and land use accounts for 18% of GHG emissions. Organisations such as the NFU have set a goal for net-zero GHG emissions from agriculture in England and Wales by 2040 to support the UK's ambition of achieving net-zero by 2050 (NFU,2020).Farm Carbon Toolkit, Agrimetrics, Velcourt and Crop Health and Protection Limited (CHAP) fuse together expert agronomists and data scientists with global-leaders in farm GHG emissions to create Farm Carbon Connect.This Industrial Research project will exploit new ways to innovate and deliver an advanced carbon calculator for modelling the whole-farm carbon footprint as well as improving access to and interoperability of data between digital tools used by the agri-sector.The consortium's approach to developing meaningful, accurate and engaging farm carbon data, supports FCT's long-term goal of empowering and inspiring farmers and the wider food system to meet its net-zero goals, while building resilient, equitable businesses.This project is anticipated to deliver transformative effects for FCT by opening new markets, generating revenues and team growth through partnerships with farmers, agronomists, and businesses by providing innovative solutions that will benefit the UK economy.
