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

Example of Emissions Break Down per Farmer

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

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
Opportunity to collaborate in a pre-competitive space
