Minerva Foods, the leading beef exporter in South America together with the Institute of Forest and Agricultural Management and Certification (Imaflora), a Brazilian non-governmental organisation, which works to promote social and environmental transformations in the forestry and agricultural sectors, have announced their partnership in Imaflora’s new programme Carbon On Track, for measuring the carbon balance of farms in South America.
Maintaining its pioneering spirit, Minerva Foods is the first partner from the livestock sector to engage with Carbon On Track. Minerva Foods selected 25 supply farms in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay to participate in a pilot project totalling more than 232,000 head of cattle and 185,000 hectares of pasture, and encompassing five different biomes: Amazon, Pantanal, Cerrado, Pampas and Chaco.
Reports will be made available on the digital platform, organised by sector dashboards that will feature the data collected, strengthening initiatives that are being undertaken in the sector. Personalised control panels will be developed for partner companies, which will store the results of the balance sheets, as well as information regarding the monitoring of suppliers, environmental performance history, forest restoration projects and initiatives to encourage low carbon livestock farming.
Looking to the future, Carbon On Track may also enable the certification of projects that are aimed at generating carbon credits.
