An increasing concern over the sustainability of food and
fiber crops require that farmers have
access to appropriate and tools to be able to measure
and improve the outcomes. This article focuses on one of the
sustainability indicators, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and
nine internationally accredited carbon footprint calculators were compared on an outcomes basis against the same cropping
data from a case study cotton farm. The purpose of this article is to
identify the most “appropriate” methodology to be applied by cotton
suppliers in this regard. The authors propose a new integrated model as the basis for an
internationally accredited carbon footprint tool for cotton farming.
