The greenhouse-gas footprint relative to output — tonnes of CO₂-equivalent (from soil nitrogen, fertiliser manufacture, diesel and refrigeration) emitted per tonne of fruit produced.
Fresh fruit generally carries a low emissions intensity per tonne, dominated by nitrogen fertiliser, diesel and on-farm refrigeration; perennial orchards also lock up carbon in permanent woody structure.
Agriculture Victoria — Climate ↗Because much of the footprint is nitrogen and energy, emissions intensity tracks nitrogen productivity and irrigation efficiency closely — the same practices that stop losses also cut emissions per tonne. As retailers and exporters begin asking for footprint data, it also protects market access.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Lift nitrogen productivity to cut soil and fertiliser emissions per tonne.
Move cold storage and pumps toward efficient and renewable energy.
Cut diesel per tonne through efficient orchard operations.
