What is a Farm Emissions Profile?
As the demand for emissions transparency increases, farming businesses may need to understand their GHG footprint.
A Nutrien Ag Solutions Farm Emissions Profile uses government and industry-approved models to help you understand the source of emissions from your farming operations. Our team of sustainable farming specialists can discuss with you options to manage and assist in reducing your on-farm emissions. The first step is a Farm Emissions Profile.
Use a Farm Emissions Profile to:
- Understand your GHG footprint
- See the emissions intensity breakdown of your individual farm production systems
- Receive emissions reducing options
- Discuss market opportunities with supply chain partners
- Inform farm strategies to support future supply chain emission reduction targets

A simpler solution for Australian farmers
We continually strive to make our services easier to use. Some online calculators can be difficult, confusing, or deliver inaccurate results. Our Farm Emissions Profile service involves working directly with our team of sustainable agriculture specialists to assist you in understanding how your net farm emissions data is derived. We can help you gather relevant data, such as:
- Production data specific to your mix of farm enterprises i.e. cropping and/or livestock production information
- Total energy and fuel use data
- Total fertiliser and chemical applications data
- Protected vegetation information
The Greenhouse Accounting Framework tools, developed and maintained by The University of Melbourne’s Primary Industries Climate Challenges Centre (PICCC) to align with the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory (NGGI) will then be used to determine your Farm Emissions Profile.
