Farm Carbon Footprint Estimator (PWA)

A bilingual progressive web app that lets farmers estimate greenhouse‑gas emissions quickly, understand their biggest drivers, and test practical reductions with real‑world inputs.

Environmental Impact

Agriculture emissions are often invisible at the farm level. This tool makes them measurable and actionable, enabling farms to reduce fertilizer, fuel, and irrigation impacts and compare alternative practices. The outcome is a clearer path to lower on‑farm emissions and more efficient input use. This application brings robust environmental science closer to common farmers, and will provide immense improvements in climate-smart agricultural development.

Problem

Farmers and advisors need a fast, localized, and transparent way to estimate carbon footprint without complex software, expensive audits, or complicated professional tools. Current solutions are often opaque, slow, difficult to use or inaccessible for users on particular regions.

Innovation & Creativity

Combines crop, livestock, pesticide, irrigation, and equipment inputs in one place.
Includes practice impact controls (tillage, residue, cover crops, irrigation type).
What‑if scenarios and action plans turn data into decisions.
Bilingual (EN/UA) and designed for real‑world adoption in under‑served regions.
Creative UI for decision‑making: charts + scenario comparison + installable PWA.

Technical Execution & Feasibility

Working prototype (PWA) with full functionality, offline use, and exports.
Built on realistic emission factors and adjustable assumptions.
Local storage keeps data private; no backend needed.
Scalable architecture: shared calculation core + structured inputs + exportable data.
