What Dcycle covers

Scope 1, 2 & 3 for Agriculture

Livestock methane and fertiliser N₂O are Scope 1. Electricity for irrigation and storage is Scope 2. Purchased feed, seed, pesticides and transport — that's Scope 3. Dcycle calculates all three using agriculture-specific methodologies, per farm, per crop, or at group level.

Scope 2Warehouses380tCO₂e
Scope 3Carriers8,750tCO₂e

Crop & Livestock-Specific Methodologies

Different crops and livestock systems have fundamentally different emission profiles. Dcycle applies sector-specific emission factors and calculation methodologies — covering arable, horticulture, dairy, beef, poultry and aquaculture — so your carbon footprint reflects what you actually produce.

CSRD & CAP Compliance

CSRD is cascading through food supply chains, pulling agricultural suppliers into reporting requirements. CAP eco-schemes require environmental performance data. Dcycle helps you meet both regulatory and client-driven reporting obligations.

Cooperative & Group Consolidation

Agricultural cooperatives and agri-business groups need consolidated environmental data across dozens or hundreds of member farms. Dcycle collects data per farm using guided templates, validates entries, and consolidates into group-level reports.

Client & Supply Chain Reporting

Food processors, retailers and exporters need verified environmental data from their agricultural suppliers. Dcycle generates the reports your clients need — carbon footprint per product, water usage, fertiliser management, land use data — in the format they expect.

Frequently asked questions

Why is agriculture facing increasing sustainability reporting pressure?
Agriculture accounts for roughly 10% of EU greenhouse gas emissions and is the primary driver of land use change, water consumption and biodiversity loss. CSRD cascades through food supply chains, requiring large food companies to collect environmental data from their agricultural suppliers. CAP eco-schemes link subsidies to environmental performance. And major food retailers are requiring verified carbon data from farm-level suppliers.
How does Dcycle handle the diversity of agricultural operations?
Dcycle includes crop-specific and livestock-specific emission factor databases and calculation methodologies. Arable farming, horticulture, dairy, beef, poultry, pig farming and aquaculture each have tailored data collection templates and emission models. The platform handles both conventional and organic farming systems.
Can Dcycle calculate carbon footprint per agricultural product?
Yes. Dcycle calculates product-level carbon intensity — kgCO₂e per tonne, per litre, or per unit — using farm-level input data (fuel, electricity, fertiliser, feed, water) and recognised emission factor databases. This allows benchmarking between farms, comparison of practices, and verified data for client reporting.
How do agricultural cooperatives use Dcycle?
Cooperatives use Dcycle to collect environmental data from member farms through guided input templates. Each farm enters their own data — energy, fuel, fertiliser, water, yields — and the platform validates and consolidates into cooperative-level reports. This allows the cooperative to respond to client sustainability questionnaires and regulatory requirements on behalf of all members.
What about carbon sequestration and soil carbon?
Dcycle accounts for both emissions and removals in agricultural systems. Soil carbon sequestration from practices like cover cropping, reduced tillage and agroforestry can be quantified where robust measurement data is available. The platform follows recognised methodologies and transparently separates emissions from removals in all reports.
