HowGood launches farm-level sustainability tracking tool for corporate emissions reporting

HowGood, a sustainability intelligence platform for the food industry, has introduced FieldScope, a new tool designed to help food companies measure and report the environmental impact of sustainable farming practices. The platform enables instant calculations of how agricultural practices affect company emissions, addressing a crucial need in corporate environmental reporting.

As global sustainability reporting frameworks like CSRD, SBTi, and CDP demand more detailed corporate emissions reports, food companies face increasing pressure to accurately measure and demonstrate progress in their environmental impact reduction. While many companies have launched regenerative agriculture pilots and invested in improved farming practices, quantifying the impact of these initiatives at a corporate reporting level has remained challenging.

“FieldScope has the potential to change the way we understand corporate sustainability,” said Nina DePalma, VP of Product at HowGood. “By reflecting the impact of on-farm practices in company-level emissions reporting, FieldScope reveals the true ROI of investing in regenerative agriculture practices – all visualized in real time. It removes silos, enables agile insights, and allows companies to work more directly with their supply chain partners on meaningful impact reduction.”

HowGood: Meeting modern sustainability reporting requirements

The platform offers three key environmental monitoring capabilities:

1. Farm-level carbon impact modeling, providing real-time data on practices such as no-tillage and fertilizer use
2. Enhanced calculation accuracy for product and corporate carbon footprints
3. Tracking capabilities for regenerative agriculture initiatives and carbon removal efforts

The tool integrates with HowGood’s existing sustainability intelligence solutions, enabling food and beverage companies to measure and report their supply chain environmental impact with greater precision. This integration aims to support companies in achieving net zero targets while improving supply chain collaboration.

The launch of FieldScope reflects the growing importance of agricultural practices in corporate sustainability strategies and the need for more accurate measurement tools in environmental reporting. By providing a direct connection between farm-level practices and corporate reporting, the platform aims to help companies better understand and communicate their environmental impact.
