Indoor Farmers: This is How You Calculate Your Carbon Footprint | CarbonBook Interview
Manage episode 352029702 series 3356588
Calculating the Carbon footprint of an indoor farm can be a daunting task, but not impossible. And the process is just plain simple when using CarbonBook.
Daphne Preuss and her team at CarbonBook, have created an app that allows indoor farm operators to calculate their carbon footprint as easily as possible.
Because although many indoor farms already are more sustainable because of the reduction in water and pesticide use, the same is not always true for the amount of carbon they are consuming.
And soon, consumers and distributors are going to demand that all points in their supply chain are working towards being as close to NetZero as possible.
So don’t miss a second of this entire interview where we go in-depth into the importance of an indoor farm in knowing their carbon footprint and why CarbonBook is even giving indoor farms a Carbon Score that they have the option to report to their distributors.
