Frequently Asked Questions

 


How does Terrascope handle the complexity of FLAG (Forest, Land & Agriculture) emissions in agriculture supply chains?

Terrascope applies IPCC-aligned land-use classifications, use higher-accuracy Tier 2/3 emission factors where available, and provide clear guidance on when removals can be credibly claimed (including monitoring, permanence, and reversal considerations). Terrascope also supports full FLAG coverage (including biogenic emissions and organic waste pathways) and SBTi-aligned workflows that separate FLAG from energy/industrial emissions for target-setting.

 


We have hundreds of contract growers, smallholders, or third-party suppliers. How can we measure Scope 3 without direct farm-level data?

Terrascope uses a tiered approach where the aim is to baseline fast: Start with spend or aggregated volume data, strengthened with region-specific factors and modeling using parameters you already track (e.g., livestock counts, feed conversion, energy benchmarks).

Next is to engage strategically: Prioritize the top suppliers driving most emissions, using simplified, pre-filled templates. Lastly, Scale over time: Automate via procurement integrations, enable supplier submissions through a portal, and reuse calculated product footprints through a PCF library.

 


Our teams use different systems (ERP, spreadsheets, consultants). How does Terrascope simplify the data chaos?

Terrascope ingests data in multiple formats (files or API connectors), then centralize everything into one platform with version control, role-based access, validation checks, and audit-ready documentation. You get a single source of truth for Scope 1–3, emission factors, and calculation traceability, reducing manual consolidation and speeding up reporting cycles.
