The UK environment department has set out a plan to make greenhouse gas estimates from farms easier to compare. It published details of the FRAME-Agriculture research project on November 10, outlining work on common guidance and models for estimating and reporting emissions.

The department says existing farm carbon calculators use different methods and can return different estimates for similar inputs. The project is expected to run until autumn 2028. Its first guidance and the initial software library for the standard emissions model are planned for winter 2026.
