The projects the ES farm data group have been involved in are:

• Gathering all data from inputs and outputs
• Integrate farm data platforms to collect performance metrics to inform decision making
• The migration of databases from old systems to new systems (for example migrating the historical data from Summit to Omnia)
• Developing a method to select the specific data required for calculation software and standardising carbon accounting
  
  

The projects the ES farm data group are working on currently:

• Continuation of inputting data into carbon calculators to facilitate the net-zero goal
• Automation of specific data into carbon calculation software
• Contribute towards the Rothamsted long-term field experiment to establish best practice principles and practice
• Data support
• Data entry and data design for Farm Birds
• Dairy cow weather and yield data for Global Farm Platform
