"This is where near-zero comes in.

Companies that have realized that net-zero targets may be more difficult to achieve than initially anticipated are rethinking their approaches to better set themselves up for success toward net-zero targets. Near-zero targets require them to cut down to the lowest realistic level, with stringent guardrails ensuring real operational change is happening, companies aren’t buying verified progress, and that they’ve made significant enough progress to neutralize remaining emissions."

- Cate Battey, Director of Growth & Innovation at HowGood, in Food Logistics

We're proud to partner with Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods to help guide their sourcing decisions — tracking emissions, water usage, and soil health risks, and turning that data into action to reduce the environmental footprint of their rice supply chain over the next few years.

"In the last five years, we have broad agreement that regenerative agriculture is the right way to go for the food system. We've had so many pilots that have shown increased productivity for farmers, decreased environmental impact, reduction in in carbon footprint, enhanced resilience and stability. Regenerative agriculture works and it's been shown.

Companies in the food system can't just keep funding it on their own, paying out of pocket for it to happen. It needs to move to a larger scale. To do that, they need more finance."

- Ethan Soloviev, Chief Innovation Officer at HowGood, on the missing piece in in Ag Navigator

Ethan Soloviev, chief innovation officer at HowGood, argues that the main barrier to scaling regenerative agriculture is not defining or proving its worth, but rather unlocking much greater financial flows to farmers. The sector has broad consensus on its benefits, yet lacks sufficient financial mec...

"What changed was Scope 3 [emissions] accountability.

You can’t credibly report against a FLAG [forest, land and agriculture] target without looking at inputs. Fertiliser mapping from a procurement concern to a Scope 3 reporting requirement is driven, in large part, by what retailers are now asking for.”

- Rachel Calomeni, SVP of Growth & Innovation at HowGood, on retailer requests for their suppliers' greenhouse gas footprints in order to accurately measure and manage their Scope 3 emissions in Just Drinks

Energy costs and commodity futures may grab more attention than fertilisers but the Middle East crisis has put the inputs into firm focus.

The GHG Protocol just released its Land Sector and Removals Guidance: the practical how-to behind the Standard published in January, and the first global framework for accounting for land emissions and CO₂ removals. For food and beverage companies, the guidance touches nearly every part of the inventory: agricultural emissions, land use change, biogenic carbon, and removals, at both the corporate GHG inventory level and the product footprint level.

​Join HowGood and Perennial on Thursday, July 23rd for a focused look at what the guidance means for and , including upstream and downstream implications. We’ll walk through the guidance, discuss how to manage accounting and substantiation for removals, and break down different approaches to quantifying soil organic carbon, including measure-remeasure, biogeochemical modeling, and digital soil mapping.

“The other piece this order can accelerate is data infrastructure. You can’t invest federal money effectively in regenerative agriculture without ground-truth data on what’s actually happening on the land, like what practices are being used, and what impact they’re having on soil, water, and farm resilience. Real investment has to be paired with real measurement, or we risk repeating the mistake of funding activity without being able to prove outcomes.”

Responses to President Trump's Executive Order run the gamut, from optimism and applause to warnings about hype and hollow promises.
