The Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture today announced the integration of the Fieldprint® Platform’s sustainability metrics and algorithms into the MyFarms software platform. As one of the Alliance’s newest qualified data management partners, MyFarms now offers commodity farmers with a seamless solution for measuring their sustainability performance and operational efficiency. This integration is made possible through Field to Market’s Fieldprint® Application Programming Interface, which connects seven sustainability metrics and associated algorithms from the Fieldprint Platform directly into the MyFarms software.
“We are pleased to be recognized as a qualified data management partner by Field to Market and look forward to equipping supply chains with farmer friendly tools that convert sustainability data into smarter farming decisions. With this integration, MyFarms stands a ready and willing partner to help global supply chains make authentic sustainability claims,” said Chris Fennig, Managing Director of MyFarms, LLC.
Ingredion Incorporated, a leading global ingredients solutions company, will deploy the integration with their grain farmers, pledging to scale sustainability measurement across 180,000 acres by 2020.
“We are excited to see MyFarms and Field to Market partner together in helping our grain farmers access robust sustainability analytics and partner with Ingredion in meeting customer demands for enhanced supply chain transparency around the sustainability of our ingredients,” said Andrew Utterback, Manager, Commodities Purchasing, Ingredion.
With this integration, farmers now have another choice in documenting and demonstrating their sustainability performance using the common measurement framework offered by the Fieldprint Platform. Developed through a multi-stakeholder, consensus driven process, this outcomes-based and metrics-driven sustainability measurement platform is supported by more than 130 organizations across the food and agriculture industry.
“The integration of Field to Market’s sustainability metrics and algorithms into the MyFarms software platform offers farmers another choice in accessing the industry’s most accepted and recognized sustainability measurement framework,” said Rod Snyder, president of Field to Market. “With companies like Ingredion relying on MyFarms for the implementation of their sustainable sourcing initiatives, we look forward to a robust partnership that will help Field to Market reach our goal of engaging 50 million acres in our Supply Chain Sustainability Program.”
