Traceable Beef for Climate and Conservation

The innovation advanced in this project is the testing of a novel market mechanism called the beef emissions tracing and allocation (BETA) framework for producing beef products with verified quantitative carbon outcomes. The Framework will cover the full lifecycle footprint from pasture to feed yards to processors and by-products, which creates greater opportunity for producer recognition of and reward for sustainability improvements that benefit climate and nature. The Framework will be anchored in actual farm-level measurement and validated through targeted implementation culminating in a project report and publicly available methodology.
