Advanced Data Analytics & Market Research
Utilizing the nation’s most comprehensive agricultural energy use database, we deliver detailed data analytics and in-depth market research that go far beyond traditional reporting. Our robust dataset enables the development of highly accurate energy performance benchmarks—such as energy use per unit of production—tailored to specific commodities, production systems, and regional conditions. These insights provide growers, agribusinesses, policymakers, and utilities with actionable intelligence to identify efficiency opportunities, track performance trends over time, and support evidence-based decision-making. By transforming raw data into meaningful benchmarks and comparative analyses, we empower stakeholders to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and advance sustainability across the agricultural sector.
Energy & Environmental Planning and Carbon Footprint Reduction
As experts in agricultural planning and emission reductions, we develop integrated conservation strategies across the agricultural value chain. We work with many organizations to support and assist them in reaching their environmental and carbon reduction goals. For example: collaborating with milk cooperatives and the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy to achieve a 25% reduction in the dairy industry’s carbon footprint by 2020.
Carbon emission offsets create new revenue opportunities in agriculture. By reducing emissions (through energy efficiency, fertilizer management, or methane capture) or storing carbon (with cover crops, no-till, or agroforestry), farmers can generate tradable credits—each equal to one metric ton of CO₂e. These credits can be sold in carbon markets, providing income while demonstrating leadership in climate action.
