What if 95% of your emissions sit on farms you’ve never even met?
And what happens to your supply chain when those farms face soil depletion, rising input costs, and climate shocks all at once?
In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I sit down with Rhyannon Galea and Kristjan Luha from eAgronom — two people working directly with more than 3,500 farmers across Europe to transform how we measure, reduce, and ultimately rethink Scope 3 emissions in agriculture.
We get into the real-world mechanics of resilience in the food system. Not the PowerPoint version — the field-level version. Rhyannon and Kristjan unpack why Scope 3 is so stubbornly complex, why primary farm data is the new strategic bottleneck, and how regenerative agriculture is quietly shifting the balance from extraction to restoration.
You’ll hear how farmer incentives are changing, why outcome-based carbon payments aren’t always the smartest approach, and how tractors, satellites, and automated data capture are reshaping what’s possible for CSRD, SBTi FLAG, and climate-smart sourcing. We also talk about soil carbon, biodiversity, machinery integration, and the five-year transition window that most companies underestimate.
If you work in supply chain resilience, sustainability, ESG, food and beverage, or agricultural procurement, this episode will give you a clearer map of the road ahead — and what you need to start now if you want 2030 results.
