Core Features
FarmGate Metrics sits within Carbone Farmers' broader approach of combining agronomic support, measurement and financing. Its main features include:
Farm-Level Carbon Measurement: Quantifies greenhouse-gas emissions, emission reductions and carbon sequestration using detailed data gathered from participating farms, providing greater specificity than reliance on generic agricultural emission factors.
Agricultural Scope 3 Tracking: Enables food companies and other downstream organizations to monitor the carbon intensity of agricultural raw materials and substantiate reductions associated with their upstream Scope 3 activities.
Product Carbon Footprints: Produces commodity-specific emission factors and Product Carbon Footprint reports that can carry agricultural carbon information downstream into processed products and corporate reporting.
Environmental Indicators: Tracks more than 30 indicators beyond greenhouse gases, covering areas such as nitrate leaching, ammonia emissions, non-renewable energy consumption.
Value-Chain Project Management: Aggregates and structures information from participating farms so cooperatives, processors and other stakeholders can monitor regenerative and low-carbon programmes from individual plots through to collected agricultural commodities.
Interoperability: Carbone Farmers says FarmGate Metrics is designed to interface with existing systems, including MRV platforms and farm-management software, with its agronomy and technology teams supporting interoperability.
Closing Insights
FarmGate Metrics is closely tied to Carbone Farmers' broader model: measuring agricultural improvements is intended not only to support reporting but also to help finance farmers' transition. The company structures value-chain premiums, co-financing and carbon-credit projects around measured improvements, while the platform provides the data needed to track those programmes. Carbone Farmers reported in early 2026 that it had worked with more than 2,000 farmers, with over €53 million secured in carbon credits.
One practical deployment is with Axéréal, where FarmGate Metrics consolidates farm data to calculate commodity-specific emission factors incorporating emissions and soil-carbon sequestration. Bio Commun is another example: the platform supports consistent emission-factor certificates for organic milk that can be shared between producers, cooperatives and downstream dairies.
The platform may become particularly relevant as agricultural carbon accounting moves toward more traceable primary data. Carbone Farmers highlights the GHG Protocol's new Land Sector and Removals requirements as increasing the importance of connecting farming practices, purchased volumes and supply areas rather than relying solely on averages. The company plans further European expansion during the second half of 2026, potentially extending FarmGate Metrics beyond its predominantly French deployment.
