In the agricultural sector, the focus on ESG principles is particularly pertinent, given the sector&#8217;s significant environmental footprint and social implications. A key aspect of ESG in farming involves\u00a0addressing Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions throughout the agricultural supply chain.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">In the discourse surrounding climate change and sustainability, the focus often falls on direct emissions from industries such as energy production and transportation.
