As food companies seek to reduce carbon emissions associated with their supply chain, there has been increasing interest in sourcing sustainably grown ingredients like grain. There are currently no Source: DTNstandardized guidelines for what makes grain “sustainable,” but it typically means grain grown using farming practices that produce fewer carbon emissions than conventional practices.

Upcoming Scope 3 reporting requirements have increased the need for trusted farm carbon emissions data, but accessing reliable data on which producers have used sustainable farming practices can be challenging. So how do you source sustainable grain knowing for certain that it was grown with a low carbon footprint?
