Methodology for Precision Fertilization and Irrigation for GHG Emissions Reduction and Increased Crop Yield

The proposed methodology introduces advanced precision fertilization and irrigation techniques, with emphasis on fertilization through drip systems (fertigation) and Controlled Release Fertilizer (CRF), as a strategic approach to significantly reduce GHG emissions while improving crop yields. The methodology uses an emissions intensity approach to quantify GHG emission reductions. 

The methodology idea note was submitted by We-Agri (external) and Haifa Group (external). It is currently at “Step 1: Methodology Idea Note Submission” of the VCS Methodology Development and Review Process, v4.4 (PDF).
