Food accounts for 1/3 of global greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from farming and land use changes. Food companies aim to reduce the emissions, driven by consumer awareness but lack reliable monitoring. We're developing a science-based measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) system for agriculture's climate impact and offering commercial services. We have established an IT system that integrates data and models of agricultural ecosystems. In this project, we improve our MRV system and refine the associated services to meet the stakeholders' information needs. We inform, consult, and involve the stakeholders to support the practical MRV system development and promote applications and business development. We pilot our MRV system in two major food companies' value chains. Our work supports the food value chain stakeholders' commercial efforts and provides the public and private sectors with improved means to follow and foresee agricultural and climate policy impacts.
