The online Cool Farm Tool (CFT) is a greenhouse gas and biodiversity calculator for farming. It is unique in being useful at both ends of the supply chain. Companies can use it to collate and manage supply chain emissions and biodiversity to encourage, motivate, track and reward continuous improvement, and farmers can use it for decision support. The CFT is free for growers.
