Workshop A
10:00 am Understanding & Applying the Evolving Standards Landscape Across Agricultural Supply Chains
As scrutiny of agricultural Scope 3 emissions, removals, and intervention claims increases, companies face rising pressure from auditors, investors, and regulators. Overlapping frameworks and new guidance have made standards alignment a material risk. This workshop cuts through the complexity, providing a practical walkthrough of key frameworks and guidance on applying evolving expectations with confidence in real world reporting systems.
This workshop will:
- Explain how the updated GHG Protocol Land Sector and Removals Standard shape agricultural Scope 3 expectations
- Clarify the relationship between project outcomes and inventory accounting, and how companies can align within reporting systems
- Use cross-sector examples to show how companies combine standards to build coherent and defensible Scope 3 strategies

Workshop B
1:30 pm Navigating 45Z, CI Scoring & the New Market Signals Reshaping Agricultural Carbon Accounting
The emergence of 45Z and carbon intensity-driven market incentives is reshaping how agricultural emissions are rewarded and reported. This workshop offers a practical deep dive into how 45Z works, where it differs from Scope 3 accounting, and how it is influencing farmer incentives and corporate sustainability strategy.
This workshop will:
- Break down 45Z eligibility, CI scoring requirements, and their implications for farmers, elevators, processors, and corporate buyers
- Clarify how CI accounting differs from traditional Scope 3 methods and why misalignment often creates strategic confusion
- Share real examples of how 45Z is influencing procurement planning, incentive structures, and regional supply chain configuration
