Research developed in partnership with UFLA and supported by ESGpec’s PEC Calc technology demonstrates that zootechnical and economic efficiency are associated with lower greenhouse gas emission intensity in dairy production.

The FoodTech 500 2025 report shows that sustainability in agriculture has entered a new phase: less narrative, more data, traceability and climate intelligence. In this article, we explore the key signals emerging from the global FoodTech ecosystem and what they reveal about the future of dairy production.

Are carbon markets maturing or simply changing their narrative? Based on recent discussions around offsets, insetting, and Scope 3, this article explores why dairy production will increasingly depend on reliable data, traceability, and real emission reductions before talking about carbon credits.

Sustainability in dairy farming does not depend only on isolated good practices, but on coordination among farmers, technicians, processors, markets and public policies. When each link in the chain understands its role, data stops being fragmented records and becomes a foundation for better decisions, value creation and stronger competitiveness across the dairy sector.

Sustainability in dairy farming depends on building green business ecosystems, where producers, industries, and markets operate in an integrated way. Beyond adopting best practices, the key challenge is measuring, standardizing, and connecting data. In this context, solutions like ESGpec enable the transformation of farm data into strategic indicators, supporting decision-making, market access, and real decarbonization strategies.

With a historic 16.7% drop in national emissions, Brazilian agriculture gains climate relevance. Discover how measuring dairy carbon footprint, reducing methane, and improving ESG performance can transform livestock production.

ESGpec was highlighted in Agro e Prosa’s article on innovation in Brazilian agribusiness within the CasaleTech program, an initiative by Casale in partnership with IAM. The report emphasizes the role of agtechs in environmental data standardization, carbon footprint calculation, animal welfare monitoring and ESG performance management in agricultural production.

In this edition, inspired by the International Year of the Woman Farmer, the article explores why ESG must go beyond carbon metrics to foster real resilience in productive systems.
