Climate change poses a number of risks to food and agricultural companies that impact their corporate performance and long-term value creation. Land use change (LUC) from commodity crop and subsistence agriculture such as beef, soy, palm oil and cocoa  has led to a vast deforestation globally and outsized impact on greenhouse gas emissions (FAO, 2016).

The report “”Measure the Chain: Tools for Assessing GHG Emissions in Agricultural Supply Chains” provides food companies with a variety of tools and information that describe in detail how to better disclose and manage the emissions from their supply chain, also known as Scope 3 emissions. Once food companies have assessed and evaluated their emissions, they are able to use that information to improve disclosure and mitigation of emissions from agriculture, forestry and LUC.
