Find the answers to the frequently asked questions about MyEasyFarm our measurement tools and our support for the agro-ecological transition!
What data sources does MyEasyFarm use?
MyEasyFarm is a platform designed to collect and centralize agricultural data in the most efficient way possible, to avoid double entry and ensure reliability. We connect to several sources:
- Plot management software We are interoperable with the main tools on the market, enabling us to import your activity, input and rotation data in just a few clicks.
- Agricultural machinery Thanks to the Isobus protocol, we can connect to your tractor and combine consoles. This enables us to retrieve real, non-declarative data, such as yield maps or input applications.
- Satellite data Our tool integrates satellite data (NDVI, Leaf Area Index) to monitor biomass and plant cover. An exclusive model, developed with INRAE and CNES, even enables us to measure above-ground biomass in tons of dry matter. But also weather data, soil analyses, etc.
- Other sources:public databases (e.g. RPG in France), remote sensing...
Simplified forms For large-scale projects, we offer a simplified carbon diagnosis form. This form can be filled out in 15 to 20 minutes, and collects essential primary data on the operation's practices for a quick and efficient analysis.
Is our tool flexible and customizable?
Yes, that's one of our major strengths. We adapt to your needs, not the other way around.
- Customized KPIs Our platform is designed to implement and calculate your specific KPIs, whether they relate to carbon, biodiversity, water management or regenerative agriculture.
- White-label solution We can customize the platform with your logo and colors, creating a digital environment tailored to your value chain.
Choice of models We are model agnostic, and can integrate new models if your project requires. We already use AMG, RothC and Cool Farm Tool models to meet international standards.
Are our data and calculations certified?
Yes, validity and credibility are at the heart of our concerns.
- Tool certification Our Low Carbon Label tool has been certified by Bureau Veritasattesting to its compliance with official methodologies.
- Compliance Our calculations comply with the GHG Protocol and are compatible with SBTi. To help you validate your methodology, we can also help you document your projects for submission to these standards.
Quality control The platform incorporates safeguards to flag outliers, and we can use automation to make declarative data more reliable. However, final verification of input data remains a responsibility shared with our customers and their partners.
How is the confidentiality of our farmers' data ensured?
Data confidentiality and security are our top priorities.
- Data Agri Charter We are signatories to the Data Agri Charter, a commitment that guarantees the non-commercialization of your data. Your data is only used for the purposes for which it was collected, with the explicit consent of the farmer.
- RGPD : We are fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Local hosting For total sovereignty, all data is hosted on servers in France.
Is the tool adapted to different geographical contexts?
Yes, our solution is designed to operate on an international scale.
- International presence We have teams and offices in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Brazil, enabling us to understand and adapt to the specific features of each market.
- Recognized methodologies Our platform supports international standards and methodologies such as VERRA and Gold Standard for your projects outside France.
Model adaptability We can run different calculation models, such as RothC or AMG, to adapt them to the climate and geography of your farms.
Can the tool be used for simulations?
Yes, simulation is a key feature for awareness-raising and consultancy in certain projects where this is necessary.
- Improvement scenarios Once the initial diagnosis has been established, the farmer or advisor can simulate the impact of various levers (introduction of cover crops, fertilizer reduction, etc.) on the carbon balance.
Decision support : The platform instantly recalculates the impact of these changes, offering a visual and entertaining tool for defining action plans and advising farmers on their improvement trajectory.
How can our tools support an agro-industrial company's decarbonization strategy?
Our platform helps you decarbonize the most impactful stage of your value chain: theupstream agriculture (Scope 3).
1. Reliable proof and reporting
- Precise calculation: We enable you to switch from generic emission factors to specific specific values based on your farmers' actual practices.
- Compliance : Our calculations comply with the GHG Protocol and adapted to SBTisubmissions, ensuring the credibility of your reporting.
- Chain control: You get aggregated dashboards that demonstrate control of your supply chain and support the marketing of your low-carbon ranges.
2. Facilitating transition in the field
- Optimized data collection: We collect data efficiently by connecting to your existing tools (plot management software, company database, machinery, etc.) and via our simplified diagnosis.
- Farmer commitment: The diagnosis includes a simulation module module that shows farmers the direct impact of levers (cover crops, inputs) on their carbon footprint, acting as a tool to raise awareness-raising and advice.
- Program monitoring: We provide precise monitoring of farmers involved in your regenerative agriculture or "insetting" programs.
What's the difference between MyEasyCarbon and MyEasySpheres ?
These two solutions measure sustainability from different angles:
- MyEasyCarbon: Carbon and Compliance
It's the tool of carbon accounting strict. It is dedicated to measuring GHG emissions and carbon storage.- Objective: Generate carbon credits and calculate emission factors for your Scope 3 and SBTi.
- MyEasySpheres The Regenerative and Holistic Vision
Developed with Biospheres, this is the monitoring tool for theRegenerative Agriculture. It goes beyond carbon to assess the full range of agroecological benefits.- Objective: Measure indicators of Biodiversityand Soil healthand water management and socio-economic factors.
In a nutshell: MyEasyCarbon = the key financial and regulatory metric & MyEasySpheres = the complete measure of agroecological progress.
How does the platform adapt to different regions and crop types?
Our platform is designed to be global and flexiblewhich is essential for groups operating internationally or with a wide range of products.
1. Adaptation to geographical contexts
- International methodologies : We are not limited to French protocols. We integrate and run the models required by international standards such as VERRA, Gold Standardand the Cool Farm Tool.
- Local climate models : The tool can apply various calculation models (RothC, AMG) depending on theclimatic area and geography (e.g. Brazil, Argentina), thus guaranteeing the relevance of carbon storage results.
- Local presence: Our presence and teams in Germany, Italy and Brazil enable us to tailor parameters and support to the specific needs of each region.
2. Crop type management
- Versatility: The platform mainly handles field crops (cereals, oilseeds, beet), which represent the core of our expertise.
Evolution towards Diversity: We are actively developing the tool to cover new productions, in particulararboriculture and breedingby working on compatibility with other tools for dairy and zootechnical data.
What's the difference between MyEasyCarbon and the Simplified Carbon Diagnostic?
Both tools can be used to measure carbon footprints, but they differ in their level of granularity, purpose and user workload.
Features | MyEasyCarbon (Full diagnostic) | Simplified Carbon Diagnostic tool |
|---|---|---|
Main objective | Certification and generation of carbon credits | Awareness-raising and large-scale primary data collection |
Data granularity | Highly detailed (Tier 3). Requires entry of each operation, for each plot (type of fertilizer, date, dose). | Simplified (Law of 20/80). Entries based on average practices per crop and per farm |
Estimated duration | Long (2 to 8 hours), often carried out by a consultant | Fast (15 to 20 minutes), designed for the farmer's autonomy. |
Key output | Complete carbon balance, detailed simulation plan, calculation of carbon credits (Low Carbon Label, VERRA, GOLD STANDARD) | Quick carbon assessment, Benchmark (A to E rating), simulation module for action levers |
Typical use | Individual and certified projects, diagnostics for MAEC (Agro-Environmental and Climate Measure) | Scope 3 calculation on thousands of farms, network management and initial assessment |
Do we buy carbon credits?
No, MyEasyFarm does not buy or sell carbon credits.
Our role is to be a software publisher ("pure player tech"). We provide the platform and technical expertise needed to document and calculate credits.
- Our mission: We provide the methodology and audited tools (Low Carbon Label, VERRA, Gold Standard) that enable our customers to generate carbon credits reliably.
- The role of our partners : These are our partners (project developers) who use our tools to set up, support and market these credits to end-buyers.
In a nutshell: We are the technical tool that makes credits possible, but we are not the commercial operator.
How do you generate carbon credits?
Carbon credits reward an improvement in a farm's carbon balance. Increasing carbon storage in the soil and reducing GHG emissions generates carbon credits.
