Scope 3 Solutions

Carbon accounting and insetting tool for agri-food companies

DescriptionOverview of the initiative and its approach.

Scope 3 Solutions is a digital service that helps companies design and run regenerative agriculture projects in their supply chains while providing farmers with guidance and incentives. It addresses the challenge of accounting for agricultural Scope-3 emissions through project design and monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV). Key features include farmer onboarding, practice tracking, knowledge content, and company dashboards that summarize progress toward climate and soil-health objectives.

TechnologyTechnology used by the initiative.

  • Cloud
  • Desktop/web-based application
  • GIS
  • Artificial intelligence (AI)
  • Mobile app
  • Remote sensing

Scope 3 Solutions operates a cloud-based web and mobile platform. Farmers record practice adoption and management data; companies access dashboards and standardized exports for disclosure. MRV workflows combine farm submissions with geospatial inputs and remote-sensing-supported checks to evidence outcomes. The system supports notifications, document management and data pipelines used for insetting claims and performance reporting.

TargetUsers, groups, or communities targeted by the initiative.

  • Private sector

Scope 3 Solutions is designed for private-sector companies (e.g. food brands, processors, retailers) to develop, fund and monitor regenerative agriculture projects across their supply chains. Farmers participate through these company programs and may receive guidance and practice-based incentives via Klim’s farmer tools, but they are not the direct users of this service. The platform focuses on program design, MRV workflows and dashboards to support Scope-3 objectives.

Business modelHow the initiative delivers and sustains its value.

  • Fee for service

Scope 3 Solutions follows a fee-for-service model with companies funding in setting projects and related MRV/reporting services. Farmers participating in eligible projects receive practice-based incentives, often defined per hectare within partner programs.

ImpactThe observed or intended effects of the initiative.

Scope 3 Solutions aims to support progress on agricultural Scope-3 targets by facilitating adoption of regenerative practices and standardizing monitoring, reporting and verification.
