We define each of the categories in the AgriProve nature and climates scores
There are four impact areas that are relevant to every farm: Soil, Biodiversity, Water and Climate, each having their own impact score. For farmers who are grazing animals, there is an additional Welfare score.
Let's take a closer look at each area:
🧑🌾 Soil: Management of overall soil health including salinity, acidification, structure, and productivity
🌅 Climate: The impact of changing climate patterns on farm productivity and natural capital, and the risk posed by extreme weather events and bushfires.
🌿 Biodiversity: Conservation and regeneration of biodiverse ecosystems, including soil microorganism biodiversity
💧Water: The use and management of water resources as well as the mitigation of drought and flood risk, and measures to prevent water pollution and runoff
🐮 Welfare: Responsible animal husbandry and ethical practices
