More about the service

The service helps you by providing a detailed, structured assessment of the environmental impact of digital technologies in agriculture. Through evaluations in resource efficiency, production sufficiency, ecological resilience, and animal welfare, it guides you in adopting sustainable practices that align with environmental standards and best practices.

The service will be delivered through a structured assessment process, using script-based expert evaluations and environmental assessment matrices to analyse each digital technology. This includes collecting necessary input data for technology characterisation and conducting evaluations in areas like resource efficiency, production sufficiency, ecological resilience, and animal welfare. The results are then compiled into a comprehensive report, providing clear recommendations for sustainable practices.

The service can be customised to focus on specific areas of environmental impact, such as emphasising resource efficiency or ecological resilience, depending on your needs. Additionally, the level of detail can be adjusted, from a high-level overview to an in-depth analysis of specific environmental criteria, ensuring that the assessment aligns closely with your sustainability goals and operational focus.
