Klimatkalkyl

Core Features

Built inside CropPLAN which is part of the Dataväxt ecosystem, Klimatkalkyl uses readily available operational records for growers, so carbon results are grounded in real, auditable farm data and local conditions—without duplicate data entry. From there, users can explore trade-offs and prioritize actions. Its key capabilities include:

• Field-level GHG results: Calculate climate impact down to individual fields (“skiften”), using the production data you already record in CropPLAN for per-field transparency.

• One-click data flow: CropPLAN records (crops, yields, inputs) populate the calculator automatically; optional LogMASTER telemetry adds precise fuel use from machines to tighten scope-related estimates.

• Scenario testing: Run simple simulations—e.g., switching fuel type—to see how choices change the farm’s footprint before you act.

• Comparisons & benchmarks: View how climate impact varies by year, crop, and field, and compare against typical/industry values to spot outliers and prioritise improvements.

• Yield-based intensities: Aggregate results to CO₂e per kilogram harvested—useful for communicating product intensity to buyers and participating in lower-carbon grain programs.

Closing Insights

Klimatkalkyl emerged from a collaboration between Dataväxt and Lantmännen, Sweden’s major agricultural cooperative. The aim was pragmatic: measure actual farm emissions with local conditions in mind and use that foundation to track the effect of sustainability measures on each holding. In pilots and rollout, Lantmännen positioned the tool to help establish a sector standard and enable new business models tied to verified, lower-carbon grain—underscoring relevance not only for individual farmers but also for supply-chain buyers.

For many users, the most practical advantage is that Klimatkalkyl sits where work already happens on the Dataväxt platform. CropPLAN provides the operational backbone, while optional LogMASTER telemetry tightens fuel data without spreadsheets or re-entry, improving confidence in results that may be shared with cooperatives, mills or auditors.

Recent context includes continued development across Dataväxt’s platform and apps—useful for teams standardising workflows and record-keeping before running climate analyses. And because Klimatkalkyl is included with CropPLAN, adoption can scale across existing subscriptions. Notably, Scandagra, Lantmännen’s Baltic joint venture, has secured a €30 million EBRD sustainability-linked loan to deploy Dataväxt’s tools across 150,000 hectares, further embedding Klimatkalkyl’s methodology in regional grain value chains.
