Agricultural Emissions Calculator
Livestock and forestry management are two farming activities that can have quite diufferent impacts on climate change.

While acknowledging the tool is a simplified approach, it does allow the use to choose the type and size of livestock and estimate their associated emission. Also choosing the land availability and change in foirestry can determine the extent to whihc carbon capture takes place.
