What’s New for 2026
At Hanson Wade, every summit is shaped by the people in the room. Each year the Carbon Accounting in Agricultural Supply Chains Summit is shaped by leaders in the space and by attendee feedback.
This year, the market made one thing clear: that the summit needed to create more space to connect, benchmark, and learn from real-world implementation. So, that is exactly what we have done.
Alongside a sharper, more market-relevant agenda, we have introduced new ways for you to engage with peers, hear directly from farmers, and explore the commercial realities driving agricultural carbon accounting forward.
Networking
Networking at the summit is designed to go beyond surface-level conversations. With stakeholders joining from across the value chain including farmers, food brands, finance, and solution providers, this is your opportunity to gain new perspectives on shared challenges. Expanded roundtables, farmer-led panels, and interactive discussions ensure you are not just meeting new people, but actively exchanging ideas, benchmarking approaches, and building connections that can shape your strategy long after the event.
Biofuel & 45Z
With growing focus on biofuels and Section 45Z, the 2026 agenda dives deeper into carbon intensity scoring and clean fuel incentives. Sessions explore how these evolving frameworks are reshaping how emissions are valued and how companies are aligning them with Scope 3 strategies to unlock commercial opportunities and inform procurement decisions.
Farmer Engagement
Designing programs that work on paper is no longer enough. This year brings even more farmer voices into the room, ensuring conversations reflect the realities of adoption, incentives, and ROI. From producer-led panels to case studies grounded in real operations, the focus is on bridging the gap between corporate ambition and farm-level feasibility.
Meat & Dairy
As companies look to improve data quality and unlock investment, meat and dairy take center stage. New sessions explore how organizations are moving from farm-level measurement to scalable Scope 3 reporting, alongside practical approaches to financing and implementing dairy decarbonization strategies.
The goal for 2026 is simple. Deliver a meeting that not only informs but connects. A space where you can benchmark your approach, pressure-test your strategy, and leave with a clearer path to credible, auditable decarbonization.
Because the most valuable part of any conference is not just what you hear on stage. It is who you meet, and what you learn from them.
