World-Climate Farm Standard

The World-Climate Farm Standard provides a basis for calculating a farm’s climate performance and evaluating its impact. Because of the large number of contributing factors and the issues involved in assessing them scientifically, calculating a farm’s carbon footprint may appear at first glance to be a complex task. Our World-Climate Farm Tool provides you with a simple means of applying the scientific principles behind our World-Climate Farm Standard to your own farm.

In our World-Climate Farm Standard we place particular emphasis on the subject of humus and greenhouse gas emissions. The build-up of humus in the soil has a decisive beneficial impact on a farm’s carbon footprint. If greenhouse gas emissions can also be minimised and active steps are taken to reduce emissions, a positive carbon footprint for a sustainably managed farm can be achieved.

Benefit to customer

The World-Climate Farm Standard enables you to assess your farm using the World-Climate Farm Tool and to put appropriate measures in place if needed. The scientific basis and the relevant publications mean that the credibility and acceptance of the standard are high.
