01Land management
Your farms and your suppliers’
Each land management unit has its country, its province and its ownership: your own or a supplier’s. With that, Dcycle knows which factors to apply and in which scope each emission counts.
Your crops and your land, inside your footprint.
If your company grows crops, manages land or buys agricultural raw materials, Dcycle calculates those emissions with the official factors by province from MITECO, Spain’s Ministry for the Ecological Transition, with the same rigour as the rest of your inventory.

How it is calculated
A plot of land, its crops and its inputs. Every emission, in its scope.
You add the land unit, choose the crop and add its inputs and the vehicles that work the farm. If the land is yours, its emissions go to scope 1; if it belongs to a supplier, the share of its production you buy counts, in scope 3.
Land management unit 120 ha
Agricultural inputs - 38.5 t
- 2.2 t
- 9.6 t
- 10.6 t
- 9.1 t
Land emissions 0 t CO₂e
- Scope 1
- 0 t
- Scope 3
- 0 t
You buy 40% of its production: that share counts, in scope 3.

02The farm
Crops, facilities and vehicles
Within each farm you record its crops with their inputs, and link the facilities and vehicles you already have in Dcycle. Their emissions are added to the farm’s.

What it covers
A first version that keeps growing.
- Land management
- Emissions from crops and their inputs: synthetic fertilizers, manure, organic amendments and liming.
- MITECO factors
- The official factors by province, and fertilizers that are not on the list, by their nitrogen content.
- With what you already have
- Link the facilities and vehicles already in Dcycle to each land unit.
- More methodology on the way
- We will be adding the new GHG Protocol FLAG methodology in upcoming versions.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What are FLAG emissions?
FLAG (Forest, Land and Agriculture) covers emissions from agriculture, livestock and land use. Frameworks such as SBTi ask agri-food companies to report them as a separate category.
What can I record in Dcycle?
Land management units with their country, province and type; crops by the official crop types, from olive groves and vineyards to wheat, rice or almonds; and agricultural inputs such as synthetic fertilizers, manure, organic amendments and liming.
Which emission factors does Dcycle use for FLAG?
The official factors by province from MITECO, Spain’s Ministry for the Ecological Transition. If you use a fertilizer that is not on the list, you can enter its nitrogen content and Dcycle applies the factor per kilo of nitrogen.
How are they split between scope 1 and scope 3?
It depends on who farms the land. On your own farms, emissions go to scope 1. On a supplier’s, they go to scope 3 (category 1, purchased goods and services), multiplied by the share of its production you buy.
Does it cover the full GHG Protocol FLAG methodology?
Not yet. This first version covers land management emissions with MITECO factors, which is what most companies can measure today. We will be adding the rest of the new methodology in upcoming versions.
