LIT0604 BENCHMARKING EMISSIONS INTENSITY IN SCOTTISH FARMING
Notice Description
ClimateXChange wishes to commission a robust and repeatable method for generating emissions intensity data for Scottish farm produce, and an analysis of its potential application in terms of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks. In the Climate Change Plan (published February 2018) the Scottish Government has made a commitment to reduce the carbon footprint of the food we produce, by lowering the associated emissions, such as each kilo of beef or each litre of milk. This research will examine how inform the decision-making process for delivery of this commitment. The audience for this brief will include non-technical policy officials and decision-makers in Scottish Government. It will also be shared with agricultural-industry stakeholders who will be familiar with the themes, but not with technical academic language. The analysis and method needs to be presented in plain language, with detailed analysis set out in linked appendices.
Lot Information
Lot 1
The aim of this project is to develop a robust and repeatable method for generating emissions intensity data on Scottish farms, along with an assessment of the potential opportunities and challenges in its wider application. This method must be suitable for use by Scottish farm business. The project will include three separate but related stages: 1. Develop a robust and repeatable method for calculating emissions intensity (GHG equivalent) for beef production in Scotland (how can farm businesses calculate their emissions intensity confident in the knowledge that it is robust and repeatable) The project will examine beef production in Scotland, suitable for a. Upland suckler systems b. Lowland suckler systems c. Upland finisher systems d. Lowland finisher systems 2. Compile a compendium of existing datasets already collected for beef production in Scotland that might support the proposed method, with a brief analysis of their strengths and weaknesses in delivering (1) (how can the method best fit with existing processes). 3. Undertake a comparative analysis of existing mechanisms with potential relevance to Scottish farming (what can we learn from others), to include a. evidence for successful implementation in other countries b. evidence for successful implementation in specific sectors/ business areas c. their practical potential, presented in table form, and with concise analytical narrative, to capture i. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. ii. Underlying assumptions that may affect the scope/ purpose
Options: There is potential for a further phase of work to address further commodities. Please provide an indicative cost for this subsequent phase of work. This is subject to funding, we reserve the right not to proceed with this additional element. a. dairy and sheep b. wheat, barley and oats c. chickens (broiler and egg production), pigs and deer
Renewal: Additional 2 month period
