Farmers to get emissions figure for their farms through new digital tool

"In AgNav, we're generating for each farm a carbon figure, and that's the figure of the total emissions from their farm."

A new sustainability digital platform providing farm-specific emission figures was showcased to thousands of farmers at the Teagasc Moorepark open day this week.

AgNav has been trialled with Teagasc advisors and Signpost demonstration farms, and is being used by the new team of Teagasc Signpost advisors working with farmers to develop action plans to mitigate their greenhouse gas emissions.
