This represents another important milestone in the adoption of the EAP, which has seen over 30,000 emissions calculations to date and over 35 organisations using the engine to drive emissions for themselves or their farming customers.

As sustainability reporting, supply chain requirements and market expectations continue to evolve, more producers are seeking reliable ways to understand their greenhouse gas emissions.

By integrating the AIA EAP engine into its existing farm management platform, AgriWebb, which covers 25% of Australia’s grazing livestock across a global network of 150+ million acres and 18,000+ farmers, is enabling customers to access emissions insights alongside the operational data they already use to manage their businesses.

CEO of AIA, Sam Brown explains, the adoption by leading software providers such as AgriWebb, is exactly the type of outcome AIA hoped to achieve by making the EAP accessible via an API and open-source code.

“The AIA EAP was developed to provide a transparent and trusted emissions accounting platform for all of Australian agriculture,” Mr Brown said.

“We are seeing a growing interest from producers who want to better understand their emissions profile - with a view to not only reducing their emissions but also identifying inefficiencies in their farm management systems, bolstering productivity and managing their reliance on inputs, which is particularly relevant given what we have seen in recent months with fuel and fertiliser supply and price volatility.”

Through organisations like AgriWebb integrating the EAP into their platforms, we're helping make high-quality emissions accounting more accessible while supporting consistency across the agricultural industry."

VP of Research and Development, AgriWebb, Kenny Sabir said the decision to integrate with the EAP reflects increasing customer demand for emissions information that is both credible and easy to access.

"We're seeing growing interest from farmers who want to better understand their emissions footprint and the factors that influence it,” Dr Sabir said.

“Integrating with the AIA EAP engine allows us to provide trusted emissions calculations within the farm management platform our customers already rely on, making it easier to turn data into practical insights. Filling out forms for accreditation can be a burden, however, with our machine-to-machine process, the producer can pre-populate these forms with the livestock records producers are already capturing daily.

“AgriWebb is committed to delivering the digital future of agriculture by transforming global cattle & sheep & production with farm management software key to profitability, provenance and sustainability across the supply chain.

“As Australian agriculture continues its transition towards more data-driven decision making, access to reliable emissions information is increasingly important, whether responding to customer requests, participating in sustainability programs, or identifying opportunities to improve on-farm productivity, farmers are seeking tools that provide meaningful insights without unnecessary complexity. The AIA integration is available on all AgriWebb plans.”

Collaboration key to success

The collaboration between AIA and AgriWebb highlights the growing role of partnerships in accelerating digital innovation for agriculture.

Rather than each organisation developing emissions accounting capability independently, AIA’s API and open-source infrastructure enables technology providers to access a shared engine while continuing to innovate in how information is recorded by producers.

This approach also supports greater transparency.

Producers, supply chains and industry stakeholders benefit from emissions calculations that are based on a recognised methodology, helping build confidence in reported results while reducing the complexity of navigating different accounting approaches.

“The integration with AgriWebb, whose customers farm over 20 million livestock across 75 million hectares globally, is a really important step towards that vision,” Sam Brown said.

“Demand for emissions data will only continue to grow as market expectations evolve and supply chains and financial institutions wanting evidence of progress against climate commitments.”

Free access to AIA’s API and open-source code is supported by the Australian Government through funding from the Improving Consistency of On-Farm Emissions Estimates Program.
