DESCRIPTION

free courses and lessons on GHG mitigation in agricultural practices in the farming sector of foreign country especially costa rica and south afrcia especially for cofee sourcing countries and ric countries.

TRANSCRIPT

  • COOL FARM TOOL

    Quantifying GHG emissions in coffee

    Sangana PPP Project Meeting

    Lausanne, Switzerland 29 September 2011

  • Cool Farm Tool: open source GHG calculator

    Farmer focused tier 2 tool

    Scope: Global, applicable for many crops, with regional defaults

    Modules for farm, primary processing, and transport

    Utilises farmer knowledge with robust

    empirical data models

    Management focused, decision support

    Exploration of mitigation options

  • Cool Farming Options goal to develop a standardized tool for the food & beverage industry

    18 Sponsors 17 Crops

  • Field tested in coffee in seven countries

    User Country Scope

    Sangana PPP (Sangana, GIZ and 4C)

    Kenya 44 farms initially 25 farms, 2nd trial 12 wet mills

    Rainforest Alliance

    Indonesia, Kenya ~40 farms, 10 processing facilities

    UTZ Certified and Solidaridad

    Kenya and Mexico 88 farms & 60 farms 7 mills

    International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)

    Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua

    66 farms NA mills

  • indicate emission hot spots and sequestration data which allows for defining reduction strategies

    indicate changes over time in emissions and sequestered carbon stocks

    contain a training for producers to show them how to gather the necessary data for the Cool Farm Tool

    prepare producers to collect data for measuring emissions up to milling

  • Most promising scenarios within this farming system to reduce net on-farm emissions are:

    Reduction on fertilizer use by adopting composting methodologies

    Reduction on crop residue emissions by composting and residue incorporation

    Increasing carbon stocks in soils and biomass by using reduced tillage, increased residue, compost

    and manure incorporation, agro-forestry and

    avoiding land-use change

    Meaning of the results

  • Inclusion of quantification in 4C verification process

    Recommendations on data collection with coffee smallholders

    Input to discussion on coffee PCR with SAI + partners

    Identified key technical improvements needed in CFT for perennial crops

    Cool Farm Tool pilot

  • Comparison of Findings of Sangana trials with CIAT, RA & UTZ Certified/ Solidaridad

    Highlights Need for Standardization/ Harmonization:

    -Data collection methodology

    -Scope

    -Tool versionality

  • Goals of the UTZ Certified/Solidaridad Pilots

    Analyze connection between UTZ certification and GHG reduction potential

    Field test of Cool Farm Tool & data collection process (coffee & cocoa)

    Test alternative approach to Land Use Change (GIS)

  • CFT Technical Improvements for Coffee

    - Agroforestry Build-Out: - Sequestration section

    modification (shade trees)

    - Land Use Change

    - Residue quantity guidance

    - Tree measurement guidance (diameters)

    - Processing: - Methane emissions from pulp

    - Waste water data collection guidance

  • Vision for the Future
