Select this to complete the full emissions calculations powered by the GAF framework.   ![](https://help.agriprove.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20-%20Product%20Images_V2%20(1)-gif.gif?width=478&height=401&name=Website%20-%20Product%20Images_V2%20(1)-gif.gif) ### **Necessary Documentation for Accuracy:** ### **General Farm Information** - Farm name and location details. - Total land area by use (e.g., cropping, grazing, remnant vegetation). - Historical land-use changes, such as clearing or regrowth over the past 20 years. --- ### **Livestock Inventory** - Numbers of livestock by category (e.g., breeders, replacements, traded cattle, etc.), averaged across seasons. - Details on births, deaths, sales, and purchases. - Liveweights (LW) and liveweight gains (LWG) over time. - Pregnancy and lactation status for breeding stock. --- ### **Farm Inputs** - Annual quantities of fertilisers used (e.g., urea, single superphosphate), including the nitrogen content. - Records of fuel and electricity consumption (e.g., diesel and petrol usage in litres per year, electricity bills). - Purchased feed, such as grain, hay, and cottonseed, with quantities and usage split across livestock types. --- ### **Crop and Pasture Management** - Total area under cultivation and pasture. - Details of crop residue management (e.g., burning or incorporation). - Soil amendments applied, including lime and manure. --- ### **Tree Planting Information** - Area planted (in hectares), tree species, and planting dates for vegetation activities aimed at carbon sequestration. --- ### **Year Selection** - Use a representative year that reflects stable flock/herd conditions for accurate baseline results. - Avoid years strongly influenced by drought or exceptional rainfall. --- ### **Supplementary Records** - Evidence of purchases (e.g., tax records for fertilisers, fuel, feed, livestock, herbicides, and pesticides). - Emission factors for external services, such as contractors for hay baling. --- ### **Savannah Burning** (if applicable to northern Australian properties) - Rainfall data, vegetation class, patchiness, fuel class size, fire season, years since last fire, and fire scar area. --- ### **Tips for Accuracy** - **Data Verification**: Cross-check livestock numbers with outputs like liveweight and wool sold​. - **Representative Data**: Average results over 2-3 years if significant variations occur in seasonal conditions. --- ### **Additional Tools** For detailed guidance, refer to the online resources: - **GAF Tools**: [University of Melbourne GAF Tools](http://piccc.org.au/Tools). These records will ensure that your carbon account is as accurate and representative as possible. - [General](https://help.agriprove.io/general?hsLang=en) - [Soil Carbon Projects](https://help.agriprove.io/soil-carbon-projects?hsLang=en) - [AgriProve Platform](https://help.agriprove.io/agriprove-platform?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Emission's Summary](https://help.agriprove.io/agriprove-platform?hsLang=en#emissions-summary) - [Nature and Climate Scores](https://help.agriprove.io/agriprove-platform?hsLang=en#nature-and-climate-scores) - [Maps](https://help.agriprove.io/agriprove-platform?hsLang=en#maps) - [Emissions Breakdown](https://help.agriprove.io/agriprove-platform?hsLang=en#emissions-breakdown) - [ReadyGraze](https://help.agriprove.io/agriprove-platform?hsLang=en#readygraze) - [AgriProve Credentials](https://help.agriprove.io/agriprove-credentials?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Greenham Beef Sustainability Standard](https://help.agriprove.io/agriprove-credentials?hsLang=en#greenham-beef-sustainability-standard) - [Greenham NEVER EVER Standard](https://help.agriprove.io/agriprove-credentials?hsLang=en#greenham-never-ever-standard) - [Deforestation-Free Beef](https://help.agriprove.io/agriprove-credentials?hsLang=en#deforestation-free-beef) - [ISCC](https://help.agriprove.io/agriprove-credentials?hsLang=en#iscc) - [AgriProve Partners](https://help.agriprove.io/agriprove-partners?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Ceres Tags](https://help.agriprove.io/agriprove-partners?hsLang=en#ceres-tags) - [Verterra](https://help.agriprove.io/agriprove-partners?hsLang=en#verterra) - [FAQ's](https://help.agriprove.io/faqs?hsLang=en) - [Soil Experts](https://help.agriprove.io/soil-experts?hsLang=en) - [Customer Resources](https://help.agriprove.io/customer-resources?hsLang=en) # AgriProve HQ Copyright © 2026, AgriProve HQ
