How it works

VSAg in under two minutes.

Charis Aherne, Head of Agricultural Impact, explains how VSAg turns farmer answers into verified Scope 3 data.

Four kinds of access, one set of farm data.

Each person signs in with a role. The role decides what they can see and do.

Manufacturer admin

Everything

Dashboards, supplier farms, survey rollout, plans, reports and settings. Invites the team.

Manufacturer viewer

Dashboards and reports

Sees the supply base and the Scope 3 report. Cannot change settings or invite farms.

Consultant

Farm checks

Checks flagged answers against farmer evidence, approves farms, books visits and reports to the manufacturer.

Climeaction admin

Set-up and support

Onboards each manufacturer and runs the engines, surveys, translations and farmer help desk.

What you see, and what stays with the farmer.

What you see across your supply base

  • Average footprint per unit of product and total Scope 3 farm emissions
  • Survey progress and farmer engagement
  • How farms spread across footprint bands
  • Emissions by source, year on year
  • Actions farms chose and the possible cut
  • Customer contracts against their carbon ceilings

What you see on each farm

  • Footprint against the national average and your target
  • Emissions by source
  • Survey answers, part by part
  • The farmer's plan and each action's status
  • Whether a consultant verified it, and on what evidence

What stays with the farmer

  • Your staff see farm IDs, not farm names
  • Farmers accept the consent text before they start
  • Farmers see their own results, the national average and targets
  • You choose whether farmers see their results

Eight screens cover the whole job.

Every farm is checked before it counts.

Agricultural specialists review flagged records and evidence before a farm is marked verified.

Built to be ready for third-party verification.

One dataset that reports, targets, proves and sells.

The same verified farm data does four jobs for your business.

Report

Disclosure

Primary Scope 3 data for disclosure and target validation.

Target

Focus support

See which farms and practices drive emissions. Triage support to each farm and make the most of your advisors.

Prove

Year on year

Benchmark year on year with consistent questions, for customer, government or carbon market compliance.

Sell

Low-carbon sourcing

Share verified footprints with retail customers and back low-carbon sourcing programmes. Our customers are receiving premium prices on verified low carbon products.

Built for each product you buy.

Dairy and sugarcane are live. Beef, coffee and cocoa are modelled. Climeaction sets up a survey and calculation engine for each farm product and supports you once it is live.

Calculation engines

One engine per survey, IPCC Tier 2 aligned.

Question builder

Questions, parts and the recommendation each answer can trigger.

Translations

Machine draft, then a native speaker checks the text and records the audio.

National averages

Every benchmark needs a cited source before farmers see it.

Data import

Bulk-load existing farm data from a CSV or Excel file.

Built with you: a new survey and engine

Start with a pilot, then scale across your suppliers.

A fixed-scope pilot gives one supplier group a verified baseline. Roll-out extends it to every supplier farm.

Pilot

12 to 16 weeks

Fixed scope and price. Configured to your commodity and reporting standard. Ends with a verified baseline for one supplier group.

Roll-out

3 to 16 months

Every supplier farm verified. A live Scope 3 view from field to shelf.

Share and reward

Ongoing

Verified footprints flow to your customers, who extend VSAg.

Live in three markets. Ready for yours.

VSAg runs in Ireland, the United States and Brazil today. Each market has its own reporting driver and farm products. The platform is not tied to these countries: Climeaction configures the survey, the languages and the calculation method to your commodity, region and reporting standard.

Ireland

Dairy and beef

CSRD reporting and Origin Green membership need primary data from dairy and beef farms.

United States

Dairy and food brands

SBTi FLAG targets and buyer supplier programmes need primary data from dairy and food brand supply chains.

Brazil

Sugarcane and coffee

RenovaBio, EUDR and EU customer pressure need verified data from sugarcane and coffee farms.

Pilot VSAg with one supplier group.

A fixed scope, a fixed price and a verified baseline in 12 to 16 weeks.
