Development of a CO2 Emissions Calculation Platform for Sustainable Livestock Farming

The organization faces challenges in accurately quantifying and managing CO2 emissions in livestock farming operations across multiple models (chickens, turkeys, pigs, cows). Current methods lack integration, ease of use, and responsiveness, hindering effective environmental impact assessment and sustainable practice implementation.

A mid to large-sized organization focused on optimizing environmental impact assessments within the agricultural and energy sectors, aiming to support sustainable farming practices and regulatory compliance.

• Design and develop an intuitive web-based CO2 emission calculator tailored for diverse livestock farming models.
• Ensure accurate modeling based on extensive domain-specific documentation, enabling farmers to assess environmental impacts reliably.
• Create a seamless, linear user experience suitable for desktop and mobile platforms, eliminating distractions and simplifying data entry.
• Generate comprehensive, easy-to-interpret reports providing valuable insights into environmental performance and sustainability metrics.
• Achieve high user engagement and satisfaction by providing clear instructions, consistent visual design aligned with existing platform standards, and reliable analytical outputs.

• Model-specific input forms for chickens, turkeys, pigs, and cows with consistent layout and guided instructions.
• Advanced algorithms to process domain-specific data and compute accurate CO2 emission metrics based on established environmental standards.
• Linear, step-by-step user interface that guides users through data entry seamlessly.
• Responsive design optimized for both desktop and mobile devices.
• Automated report generation summarizing key emission data, environmental impacts, and actionable insights.
• Clear instructional content and contextual explanations to enhance user understanding.

• External domain-specific documentation repositories or APIs for accurate modeling guidelines
• Environmental and agricultural data sources for contextual inputs
• Reporting tools or export modules for generating downloadable reports

• Scalability to support growing user base and additional livestock models
• High performance with quick response times, ensuring minimal latency during calculations
• Robust security measures to protect user data and sensitive farm information
• Cross-platform compatibility and responsive design for desktop and mobile use
• High availability and reliable uptime

The platform aims to enable farmers and agricultural organizations to accurately measure and analyze their CO2 emissions, promoting sustainable farming practices. Expected benefits include improved environmental compliance, enhanced transparency in emissions reporting, increased user engagement through intuitive design, and support for the green transformation in the agriculture sector. Quantitatively, the project anticipates streamlined calculations leading to quicker assessments and more informed decision-making, ultimately contributing to reduced agricultural emissions and advancing sustainability goals.
