OECD webinar: Farm-level tools in practice: ECOGAN in Spain

The OECD is holding a webinar on the Spanish ECOGAN tool for farm-level GHG calculations on Tuesday 18 February, from 4pm-5pm Paris time.

In 2023-2024, OECD work explored the building blocks needed for measuring carbon footprints of agri-food products. On 24 February, they will publish their report Measuring Carbon Footprints of Agri-Food Products, which discusses the eight building blocks in detail. A crucial building block is the availability of reliable and easy-to-use farm-level calculation tools.

The Spanish Ministry for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food has been developing and implementing the ECOGAN tool, a farm-level calculation tool tailored to Spanish agriculture. The tool not only allows farmers to estimate greenhouse gas emissions, but also resource consumption and emission of other pollutants. The tool makes it easier for farmers to meet reporting requirements, while the information on farm-level practices is used in compiling Spain’s national inventory of greenhouse gas emissions.

During the webinar, Javier Piquer Vidal (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Spain) will be presenting the ECOGAN tool and how it was developed. There will be room for Q&A.
