What sorts of claims can I make on the basis of my CFT results?

is intended to help farmers choose management options that improve their

Results can be used
as part of companies SBTi reporting commitments.
For consumer facing
labels or claims, a full LCA would be needed of which the tool can contribute
data towards, however tool results would require third party verification. See
