  • Carbon footprint of the milk produced per dairy farm
  • Climate impact calculated via life cycle analysis
  • Calculation based on company-specific data (inputs and outputs)
  • Communication sustainability of the milk
  • Advising on climate measures

Which data?

This API displays the carbon footprint, calculated via the climate scan, linked to the correct CBE number and the submission date of the scan. The API is made available by Klimrek.

Klimrek is a VLAIO-agriculture project in which ILVO, Boerenbond and VITO work together on a climate programme for dairy farmers, pig farmers and arable farmers with potatoes in their cultivation plan.

To this end, a climate consultant goes out on the farm with a targeted climate scan and climate course to support the farmers in switching to a more climate-friendly and climate-protective operational management, whereby practical and economic feasibility are also taken into account.

A climate scan based on a life cycle analysis (LCA) is developed per sector, with which the climate consultant visits the farmer to collect the necessary data.

This climate scan is a company-specific screening tool, which makes it clear where the focal points of the company's climate impact lie. With this insight, the consultant can select climate measures tailored to the company. The consultant then visits the company to present and discuss these measures with calculated scenarios. At the same time, a cost-benefit analysis is made to estimate the economic feasibility.
