Agriculture, Food & Beverage Decarbonization

Supporting food retailers, brands, manufacturers, and agricultural suppliers cut emissions, drive performance, and future-proof their supply chains.

The agriculture, food and beverage (F&B) sector sits at the heart of both the climate challenge and its solutions. From farming and processing to packaging and distribution, emissions are embedded across complex, global supply chains. Agriculture alone generates over 20% of global greenhouse gases, driven by land use, fertilizers, and energy-intensive processing.

 

As pressure mounts from regulators, investors, and consumers, more companies are committing to net-zero targets. Yet, implementation remains fragmented, and Scope 3 emissions, especially those linked to land use and farming, remain among the hardest to measure and reduce.

 

RESET Carbon helps bridge this gap. We partner with food retailers, brands, processors, and agricultural suppliers to turn climate ambition into operational reality aligning with the Forestry, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) guidance under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure land-based emissions are accurately measured and addressed.

 

With deep expertise in key commodities including rice, soy, poultry, and beef, we’ve supported leading F&B companies such as Swire Coca-Cola, DFI Retail Group, and Century Pacific, with inventory development, FLAG-aligned target setting, and supplier engagement programs.

Our Solutions for Decarbonizing
Agriculture, Food & Beverage Supply Chains

From emissions mapping to supplier engagement, RESET Carbon supports agriculture and F&B stakeholders through every step of their net-zero journey. Explore our tailored solutions:

Map supply chain emissions, identify hotspots, and pinpoint high-impact decarbonization levers:

  • Map and quantify Scope 3 emissions across complex agricultural supply chains using primary, modelled, and hybrid approaches
  • Conduct product- and supplier-level Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), covering land use, fertilizer inputs, and logistics
  • Identify carbon hotspots in farming, processing, and distribution to prioritize high-impact interventions

Design science-based strategies aligned with SBTi and tailored carbon reduction roadmaps:

  • Conduct peer benchmarking and materiality assessments
  • Design Scope 3 decarbonization strategies and governance frameworks
  • Support retailers, brands and suppliers in setting credible, science-based targets (SBT), including FLAG and non-FLAG, plus SBTi submission and validation
  • Develop phased implementation roadmaps tailored to supplier capabilities and Asia-specific contexts
  • Create low carbon sourcing roadmaps for food and beverage companies

Assess emissions, maturity, and readiness at company and site level to shape targeted interventions:

  • Evaluate supplier engagement strategies on carbon, energy, water, and land management practices
  • Facilitate engineer-to-manufacturer carbon conversations
  • Design tailored engagement strategies based on supplier hotspots and maturity, including factory-level (site level) programs and manufacturer-level (company level) initiatives
  • Perform onsite or remote factory assessments of energy use, material inputs, and process emissions
  • Conduct baseline emissions assessments at the manufacturer or factory level

Deploy low-carbon technologies, transition away from coal, and access green energy solutions:

  • Develop and implement action plans for energy efficiency
  • Accelerate energy transition efforts including coal phase-out and low-carbon technology adoption
  • Facilitate renewable energy procurement, including onsite solar feasibility, installation, and offsite solutions such as Green Energy Certificates (GEC), Renewable Energy Certificates (REC), and Power Purchase Agreements (PPA)
  • Provide technical support through help-desk services and expert advisory
  • Support access to decarbonization finance, including nature-based solutions and carbon insetting

Activate supplier action through training, guides, and technical assistance:

  • Design supplier engagement programs to build awareness and drive climate action across agricultural tiers
  • Deliver training sessions, playbooks, and practical guides to boost supplier readiness
  • Facilitate peer learning and knowledge-sharing across farmer and processor networks

Measure impact, generate reports, and align with leading frameworks:

  • Monitor implementation progress through digital tools and onsite visits
  • Use impact monitoring platforms to track GHG reductions and generate emissions reports
  • Support alignment with reporting frameworks such as SBTi, CDP, and other regulatory disclosures
