Why People Attended the 3rd Carbon Accounting in Agricultural Supply Chains Summit?
With the finalization of the GHG Protocol Land Sector and Removals Standard, rising expectations from SBTi, and increased attention on land-based claims, agrifood companies were under pressure to move beyond pilots and ambition toward defensible, auditable execution. The 3rd Carbon Accounting in Agricultural Supply Chains Summit was the only industry-focused forum dedicated to the "how" of implementation. Bringing together farmers, multi-national consumer good organizations, researchers, NGOs, and solution providers, the summit delivered practical guidance on aligning project and inventory accounting to ensure carbon claims could withstand regulatory and investor scrutiny. Attendees gained the clarity, confidence, and frameworks needed to turn agricultural decarbonization into measurable progress, resilient supply chains, and credible Scope 3 outcomes.
