Solar panels on Ibiza herb farm
COVERE² and Juntos Farm have signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). This partnership aims to leverage each organization's strengths to advance sustainable transformation and regenerative agriculture practices.
Testing the COVERE² Solution
Juntos Farm will serve as a testbed for the COVERE² solution, which aims to enhance sustainability reporting practices within the agricultural sector by establishing the baseline.
Energy consumption
The collaboration will include the implementation of Power Flow Tracing to understand and monitor energy usage on the farm. As the farm is currently installing Solar Panels, a significant part of this activity involves assessing how solar panel installations influence GhG emissions. This will help in understanding the effectiveness of renewable energy in reducing the farm's carbon footprint.
Net Carbon Impact Calculation
By comparing emissions with CO₂ sequestration, the collaboration aims to calculate the net carbon impact of the farm, providing a comprehensive view of its environmental performance.
