 Welcome, everybody. Benvenidos a todos todos. Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening. This is a pleasure to welcome you to this webinar on climate change and access to the European market. Climate change is of course a big concern of late. It has become, I mean, it's been a big concern for at least two decades and perhaps even more three decades. But I think the challenge of mitigating climate change is becoming apparent every day, more and more apparent every day. We know that with the current nationally determined contributions, namely the commitments by governments, temperature will rise by a median value of plus 2.4 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. This is what several modeling exercise that were carried out around COP26 in October and November last year are predicting. And in its latest report of April this year, the IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panet on Climate Change, warns that in order to limit warming to around 1.5 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, the emission of greenhouse gas must peak by 2025, which is just three years from now. And these emissions must be cut by 43% by 2030 within seven years from eight, seven, eight years from now. This is in order to avoid, you know, warming that would be catastrophic and probably irreversible. The IPCC has warned that it would be important to keep the increase of temperature by the end of century under a ceiling of plus 1.5 degrees Celsius. So this means the report says that there's a need for rapid and deep and in most cases immediate greenhouse gas emission reductions in all sectors. The agri-food sector is very important, of course, in the fight against climate change. It is estimated that agri-food systems account for one third of all man-made greenhouse gas emissions globally. So the agri-food sector has a major role to play in order to mitigate climate change. And in relation to this, major importing countries are increasingly developing regulations to address the emissions of imported products, the emission of greenhouse gas by products that have been produced in other countries and imported in these countries. For example, some countries, some importing countries are talking about carbon taxes or border adjustment taxes. But we also hear increasingly for requirements for company due diligence on environmental impacts, including impacts on climate, impacts that companies may have on climate. So we see a number of rising requirements for environmental due diligence. We increasingly hear about this term due diligence, in particular due diligence regulations or requirements by governments. So what is due diligence? According to the definition by the OECD FAO guidance for responsible agricultural supply chains, due diligence is a process through which enterprises can identify, assess, mitigate, prevent, and account for how they address the actual and potential adverse impacts of their activities. This has an integral part of their business decision-making and risk management systems. So the goals of due diligence are to avoid negative impacts on workers or local communities and on the environment and natural resources, but also not only focusing on the negative, also generating positive impacts on local, economic and social development. In some ways, due diligence is not a new requirement. Already a couple of decades ago, some governments put due diligence requirements on retailers to ensure food safety, for example. What is more recent is that now due diligence applies to environmental, social, and governance aspects of business activities, including climate change. We can see rising regulations and legislative action for due diligence by companies in some main markets, like the United Kingdoms, the United States, France, with the Loire-sur-Devoire, the Pili-Gilance-Rézonable, a duty of care law in 2017, in Australia with the Modern Slavery Act, in Germany, in Norway, in the Netherlands, and also in the European Union, a new directive has been, a proposal has been approved by the European Commission recently in February last this year and still needs to be approved by the EU Council. And also in Canada, there's a regulation in preparation, a law in preparation on due diligence by companies. Due diligence refers to the entire supply chain of a company. So it has, in some ways, an extra-territory or scope, because it can be designed, for example, for a French company, but its implications will reach also out to suppliers of this French company, for example, in Latin America. So it has implications for developing countries that exports agricultural goods to the countries where company due diligence is mandatory. Due diligence is important to company because it can help them manage risks and also increase their resilience to shocks like COVID or other types of shock. It can help them become more sustainable economically speaking, socially speaking, and also more sustainable from an environmental perspective. So it can potentially contribute to the mitigation of climate change. Environmental due diligence can help mitigate climate change. However, because of this extra-territory or scope of due diligence regulations, due diligence requirements and regulations may create challenges for banana producers and exporters in developing countries. So it comes with benefits and risks. So what are the challenges for producers and traders in developing countries? Of course, there are many of them, many challenges, many potential benefits, but we'll focus just on a few of them. First of all, I think there's the complexity of the regulations, which is added or compounds the complexity of supply chains. As we know, supply chains for agricultural products can be long and complex. They can involve dozens of suppliers in various countries. So that can be already a difficult aspect. There's also, in the case of developing countries, very often the issue of lack of resources, especially in this very difficult context of high prices for energy, food, and inputs. A context that had started already last year, but has been compounded in some ways since the war in Ukraine in February. So the challenge for developing countries producers and traders also lies in how to identify GHG emissions, greenhouse gas emissions, and how to measure these emissions. And once these have been identified and measures, how to reduce them. So FAO implements several activities to help developing countries mitigate climate change and responds to new requirements in their major export markets. For example, FAO and the World Banana Forum together have developed a tool to measure carbon and water footprints that could be useful to banana producers and traders. So what are the objectives of this meeting? You can see the agenda on your screen. So we have several objectives in this meeting. First, we will present the tool that I just mentioned for measuring carbon and water footprint in banana production that can be very useful to producing organizations, individual farmers, and traders, so that they understand better the emission of greenhouse gas in their production. To discuss digital innovations that can provide transparency and traceability of the environmental impact of banana global supply chains in compliance with regulations, including the proposed EU directive on corporate sustainability due diligence. This webinar will also provide an overview on this proposed directive. We will focus on the environmental sustainability and climate change components of the directive. And finally, the webinar will discuss the challenges and opportunities for banana exporting companies and banana growers. So I will now give the screen to Victor. He will give an overview of the proposed EU directive. Victor, you have the screen. Thank you. Thank you very much Pascal. And I'd like to join you in welcoming all the participants and panelists who will show us a lot of very important information about climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, measurements, water consumption, due diligence, blockchain even. So I will provide some brief information after what Pascal just mentioned about the due diligence corporate sustainability activities conducted by the European Commission recently. And well, as he mentioned, the European Commission would publish its proposal on the 23rd of February. This is something we all know. And this document, you know, it's forces, I would say, large European and non-European companies to go on to their activities related to their supply chains, comply with human rights and environmental sustainability. And that would affect this business model, the decisions and the impact they have in this regard, not only in the countries where they have their headquarters, but also in every country where they open. So in general, the objective of the proposal is to make effective key environmental and international conventions to have the same approach on use of our chemicals or emissions. So this proposal mandates this disclosure of companies' plans to ensure that their business strategy is compatible with the Paris Agreement that Pascal mentioned. And, you know, the aim is to limit the global warming in 1.5 degrees in comparison to pre-industrial levels. So then let me, I am in charge of the slides. Here we go. Then some brief information for you about the due diligence, you know, these new due diligence distinguishes between European Union and not European Union companies, as you know. And that affects to all of them. And it's divided into two groups, working in Group 1 and Group 2, depending on different thresholds. Group 1 is for all EU companies with more than 500 employees and 150 million in net return worldwide. Group 2 means big companies. We know a lot of controversy on that and what will happen with smaller companies with a strong impact on environmental aspects or even really small businesses in those countries. So our understanding is that we need to start with big players in the industry that will trickle down to smaller companies. And then Group 2 is for companies that operate in high-impact sectors, including agriculture, forestry, fisheries, manufacturing of food, products, extraction of natural resources, textiles, riverages, trade, extraction of... Well, it's a long list. We do not want to go through it, but the most important part is that it affects to high-impact sectors like agriculture. So this rule applies to non-EU companies, as mentioned before, which are active in the EU. We've torn over the thresholds aligned with Group 1 and 2, generated in the EU, meaning companies whose operations go between 40 and 150 million in the European Union. Then, you know, under this scope, there are several conventions and companies will be subject to identify and prevent pollution and diversity loss. They also must assess the implementation of their due diligence measures and report on matters covered by the document, by the director. The violations of internationally recognized objectives and, you know, bans, including the environmental conventions, involve the Convention on Biological Diversity. Let me go to the next slide. The Convention on Biological Diversity, considered, of course, the Cartagena Protocol, in which companies will have the obligation to take necessary measures associated with the use of biological resources to completely avoid or minimize adverse effects on biological diversity. So the development, handling, transport, use, and release of living, modified organisms is prohibited and are involved in the Nagoya Protocol, as you know, and on access to genetic resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from their utilization to the Convention on Biological Diversity of October 2014, as you know, and the above mentioned, the previously mentioned Cartagena Protocol. So then the other two important conventions for the work we are doing today that will be scrutinizing the due diligence legislation is the ban on production and use of persistent organic pollutants and needs to comply with the actual convention, specifically handling, collecting the storage and disposing of these elements in a matter that is environmentally sound or it respects the convention. Regarding the materials that we put, the ozone layer, the ban of production and consumption is in place, as you know, for several chemicals listed in the slide that you can see. And you know, after the phase out within the Vienna Convention for the protection of the ozone layer and its Montreal Protocol, same as we did with the exports of hazardous waste, now it's banned within the article one of the Basel Convention. Then all of this to mention that we, the due diligence will follow several conventions already in place. I didn't mention also the Rotterdam Convention and the activities they are doing and how it has those pesticides that will also be included there. And then important for us now is what can companies do from now? So, you know, the directive will not be active for at least two years, three years, companies should prepare starting now. Companies that have developed a complex supply chain will need to dedicate a considerable amount of time and investment to plot to understand their supply chains and prioritize areas in which they must prevent, mitigate and finalize negative impacts with which they are associated. So, companies are not able to comply with these regulations and they need to finish a business relationship with a supplier. These companies will need to allow time to find an alternative business partner before the directive comes into force. So, everybody who already has commercial activities with companies not understanding these new regulations and the direction we are heading to will definitely need to reconsider their commercial activities. So, this means that if companies are already looking for new commercial partners, they should identify and address these companies associated with human rights, protection and environmental impact, I would say, from now onwards. The objective of this is for companies to avoid being compromised in non-term commercial agreements which could be detrimental to their finances and public image, the reputation of the company. So, to prepare for these new religions, companies can engage with the senior leadership of the company, of course, the directive involves cross-functional measures. So, companies need to demonstrate their engagement. It's the appropriate one on both social responsibility and environmental concerns. They need to identify the existing approach to policies to assess whether they correspond with modern international standards. They need to recognize processes and documents such as companies policies on sustainable production and traceability. They need to start drafting environmental contract arrangements and incorporate them into commercial contracts. I mean, they need to design and introduce internal systems to process complaints which enable persons to report directly on environmental issues and the impact of companies. So, that's kind of a brief introduction out of the directive. Then, I don't know if there are questions about it, but we have any questions and answers. Hi, Victor. There is a question about CRISPR-CASA technology. If there is cover under the due diligence and under one of these protocols, more specific, the Nagoya protocol. If I may support on this answer, Elisabeth, the CRISPR technology at least under the EU legislation is not well clear. So, in our previous webinar on TR4 resistant varieties, we had a very interesting presentation from ETA that did the comparison between the legislations regarding the CRISPR-CASA technology, but still not covered under the directive. On my view, Victor, if you have one to compliment. No, no need to compliment on that. But it's definitely worth exploring that in the future. Okay, if there are no other questions in the chat box, Mateos, I think for the sake of time, we've already used 24 minutes out of our time, so maybe we need to go straight to the point. The most important part of the meeting today, which is to present the tool, the new version of the CarbonAware footprint tool we've been working on for quite a long time, and I'm quite pleased to be part of this team working with very good results. So for interpretation now, I think we'll move to Spanish. And I'm going to introduce the next part of the webinar now based on Spanish. So I'm going to give the floor to our panelists who are going to introduce us to the initiative. And I'm going to introduce Mr. Mateos Lima, as you know, member of the Muntalanero Forum, Adronomo Engineer and Specialist in Environmental Sustainability. Mr. Don Miguel Ángel Vallejo Solís, as you know, is president of the consultancy firm Agestarse, with 28 years of career and experience in the development of projects related to climate change, the management of greenhouse gas emissions, and many other activities. And he is an international listener of Adronomo Maíso 141001 and of environmental management systems and greenhouse gas verifiers. And, of course, an active member of the team, for several years, materializing these activities. Then I would like to give the floor to Mr. Alfonso Caldera Belmonte, he is a doctor in physical sciences, he is a cathedratic professor of the upper school of agronomical engineering of the BACET and director of the tele-detection division and geographical information systems of the University of Castilla-La Mancha. The University of Castilla-La Mancha has recently joined the team in which we work in FAO with respect to this tool of greenhouse gas and I am hydrophilic, I would like to emphasize with excellent results that you will be able to see now. And finally, the last but also the most important, I would say Mrs. Veronica Vargas-Madrigales, environmental consultant in management with environmental auditory experience, environmental management systems and greenhouse gas verifiers. With that, I would like to give the floor to Mr. Mateos Lima so that he can start with the first positive of the tool. Go ahead. Thank you very much, Victor, for the introduction and welcome to all participants of this event. And it is a pleasure to share this space with Mr. Alfonso, Mr. Miguel Iberónica, and we work together in the development of the new version of the tool. The objectives of this joint presentation is to provide a general description of the goals and goals of the carbon and water-based project in banana production. We will briefly present the methodology used for the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions and water-based calculations. The factors to which the calculations are based, the components of the tool, the assumptions behind the calculations, the data structure and the necessary information to get the data and the tool web. Also, as already mentioned by Victor, we are going to make a summary and present the tool of the World Bananero Forum with examples. And here we have the logos of the participants, the World Bananero Forum, the University of Casilla Mancha, and the Metrology Research and Research Laboratory. The general vision of the project, which started its activities in 2016, is to support farmers and members of the value chain in understanding the concepts of carbon and water-based organization, also support banana companies in the measurement of their carbon and water wells and support farmers and companies in the development of strategies to reduce their climate impact through the optimization of their processes, both in use and water impact as well as in greenhouse gas emissions. We have on screen the methodology guide for measurement of carbon and water wells in the Bananera Production. This guide was developed by the FAO in cooperation with the German Agency of German Cooperation, because there was no manual dedicated to the Bananera Production for measurement of carbon and water wells. So this guide is a reflection of the ISO 14,064, which is based on the ISO. Also in the IPCC guidelines and in the greenhouse greenhouse gas protocol. It is also based on ISO 14,046, from 2017, which talks about environmental management and water wells. These two documents are the principles, requirements and general guidelines for measurement of carbon and water wells, organizational and the guide developed by the FAO translates these regulations into the context of the Bananera Production. Now I talked about the tool for the calculation of carbon and water wells. We have here the vision of the supply chain, from the crops and harvest to the supermarkets and the resins. It is important to highlight the tool that was developed by FAO, is focused on the Bananera Production Companies. So its reach goes from the production to the transport to the ports. Coming to the ports, then we will talk later, we have also developed another tool that already expands the reach of the carbon and water wells and reaches the supermarkets. Here we have on screen some of the processes of each of these slabs of the supply chain and the sources of missions related. We can see that, for example, the air fumigation is related to the consumption of fossil fuels and also of health products, and so on. This is also to have this dimension of the reach of the tool to where it goes. A general vision of some elements, not all of them, very simplified, that covers the tool. Operations such as fertilizing applications of siemens, use of fuel for logistics operations, or use of agricultural machinery, waste fumes, extinguishers, and here we also have the gas of Infection Bernadero, which are quantified for the use of the tool. Mainly, of course, the carbon dioxide, we have the nitrous oxide, methane, and also the gas chlorofour carbons. A very interesting part, both of the methodology and of the tool in line, is its capacity in water wells. This was one of the innovations that this tool provides and also the methodology, is that it is not quantified of water, which is when the water does not return to its origin, but also degradation, that is, when there is a change in the quality of water. With this tool, we can quantify the quality changes, that is, the impact that banana production causes in the water. And the results that we will discuss later can be visualized both at the field level Here is a more detail of the types of impact that the tool calculates, impacts related to the scarcity of the hydric resource, that is, if you use more water in a region that has hydric scarcity, this impact is considered higher, impacts on human toxicity, this related to the toxicity of the applied products, both in the field and in the impact plant, ecotoxicity also related to the toxicity of the applied products and the hydrophilization of the resource. Now, a general view of the project, is in different phases, the project began in 2016, but in 2017 it was launched, this methodological guide, and in order to create a tool that was easier to use by the producers, in the second phase of the project in 2020-2021, this methodological guide was translated into a software, in a tool in line, where the user can enter the data of their farm and calculate automatically their carbon and carbon wells of water. In this process training was conducted in 5 countries of Latin America and tested this tool in different production systems, both organic and conventional, even forestry, and compare the results with the results of the farm already certified in carbon neutrality, validating the tool. The third phase of the project, that Don Miguel will explain in more detail, and also Dora Alfonso focused on new functions in the application, that is, to leave it more precise, robust and that covers more important aspects of the wells of water and carbon, and also to adapt to the new standards that will be incorporated into the next years. Also, he will comment in more detail this phase, will cover training and technical accompaniment in the use of the tool. With this, I would like to pass the word to Don Miguel Angel. Miguel, on this screen, thank you very much. Thank you very much Mateo, and thank you very much Alforo, I send the flag to FAO for the opportunity of this space that we have and a greeting to all the participants in this morning and afternoon, depending on where they are. Giving content to what Mateo has just exposed us, this third phase of the FAO project has contemplated from the beginning of this year 2022 a process of work of the web in terms of including and improving a series of estimated components of calculations related to the wells of carbon and water of the FAO tool. This has been thanks to the support of the University of Castilla de la Mancha at an informatic level of work and that later we will have the opportunity to listen to Don Alfonso about the details of that part. In addition to the amplification and improvement of the automated tool of the FAO they were also developed three audiovisual materials of support, the first two themes related to climate change and its impact on the banana industry and one instructional on the subject of the web. Later, after the tour I will refer a little more to this topic and we are now in a stage of preparation and already implementation of a process of capacity in line for eight countries. All this we have been developing from the end of June now July, the capacity begins next week July, until the end of August. The idea is to form groups in Guatemala, Colombia Ecuador, the Dominican Republic Panama, Belize, the city of Costa Rica. We are in that process and the idea is to be able to do the investment in the participants of the use of the tool and especially its update so that it can obviously make a tool that already supports the management and technology of the knees to the participants, the companies of the producers, the organizations of producers that are interested in them. The last phase, let's say in all this process that is estimated between September and November of this year 2022 is precisely a technical support in line for groups, subgroups of the participants in the capacity that in common agreement can be given a larger segment and obviously the purpose of this is to make a larger use of the FAAW web tool in the measurement of the knees in the different producers and commercializers of banana. So this is the great achievement, the process of the work that we are doing and we are already starting the capacity process. The next please. What have been the improvements implemented in the web? Well, let's have now in a few minutes the journey of the FAAW web tool by the Verónica Vargas company and the initial version had in terms of the carbon weights, sorry, carbon weights the conventional modules that in common agreement have been established as part of the approach that Mateus explained included everything that was electricity fertilizers refrigerant residues others, but obviously after a process of phase 2 of analysis and evaluation we saw the need to be incorporated new carbon measurement modules and basically what contemplates is the addition for example that the user could enter the use of fertilizers which is a very, very, very important in the banana industry, obviously that contributes to the emission of greenhouse gas, the nitrogen fertilizers and that allowed it in a much more fluid way systematizing, entering as a repository of information of the web, all the information from the fertilizers, there was a substantial change that automated automatically in the web the lubricants were added well, you had how to enter four times four times, four times now you can include four times, two times which also in less equipment in farms is quite usual before it could be much more boring, the procedure now you have the ease to achieve and there is now an initiative that is taking a lot of force, which is the use of animal attraction for banana farms, especially the fruit cart, the crop area the impact area they are not finding each other usual the use of domestic animals for that cart, then included the animal attraction module that basically has the measurements of emissions from the digestive process of those domestic animals and also the management of the ester, which is associated to the maintenance of those animals in the production area there is a very important component a very important module of use that now we are going to see that also includes that users have the possibility to do the measurements of the storage and storage of carbon at the level of the ground, then that includes also the request of the FAO precisely so that it was a much more robust environment for the user and additionally, they improved definitely everything which is the emission of the results processed by the web, I will not enter much detail to give that space to Mr. Alfonso of the University of Castilla La Mancha as well as Veronica who will also expose us and also the output, the type of output of the results that the web offers another facility that offers the web of geologicalization of the farm and very important with two more aspects to cover in this sense is that included the insert module the calculation of insert of the inventories of emissions of gas of greenhouse effect the FAO requested this a very, very complex topic we had a great support of the laboratory of the methodology of the industry and trade which throughout the months helped us in an interactive technical team to be able to precise the assumptions and parameters based on the methodologies that already introduced or explained about which the FAO tool is supported and to be able to select the assumptions really about which insertables of different inventories both data and activity as well as emission factors then this tool includes that updated module under a series of parameters that gives that ease to the user to obtain at the time of generating the results processing and generating the results of the greenhouse effect also the calculation of the associated insertables and finally also in water spring also mentioned already included are four very important components real measurement of impacts that it does ecotoxicity, human toxicity this is an innovative measurement and it has a lot of sense with the context that explained as Victor in the introductory part of this webinar in the sense of all the responses that are in the management obviously of the agrochemicals associated with the production and eventually some associated with the impact of the product then the tool offers an innovative measurement of this type of indicators associated with methodologies already recognized as a recipe in the case of what is utrophization use toxin and ecotoxicity and the agrochemical method for the matter of scarcity the web tool was also updated in the measurements of the water spring precisely to expand the number of products that eventually are in use in the productive finches and also in impact in such a way that these impacts can be measured in water spring and make a correct management that the company, the producer the group of producers can have a measurement that helps them generate metrics with which to make better decisions in controlling these types of impacts in the management of the water in their productive operations then it has been part of the wide innovations that have been made in the word to Mr. Alfonso to explain to us informally how it was done and then I will resume for him an introduction on how this structure hierarchically the users on the web and we are going to have the tour with Veronica. Mr. Alfonso, please thank you very much. It is in silence Mr. Alfonso that one forgets to activate the microphone I repeat, thank you very much for allowing me to be in this presentation of the tool for the calculation of water spring and carbon spring in the spring production and to say to all those who are at this moment that we are some recent arrival to this process that has been described previously by Mateu, part of Michelangelo in the sense that it is a process and we are happy to have been to incorporate us in this process of improvement and also happy to have been able to contribute to carry out those changes that have been described. For my part of saying that what we have been in this task from the University of Casquilla La Mancha from the laboratory of the detection and system of geographical information is in addition to myself because the engineers of computation Javier Sánchez and Raúl Moreno they are fundamentally those who have incorporated those who have been able to work on the previous version and introduce those changes that have been considered convenient. The objective of this tool of these improvements is the implementation of updates and improvements in that spring of carbon and spring of water on the previous version and what we have essentially done is to translate computation languages and incorporate on this platform that has not been changed the platform, all the models of calculations and new ones and graphic representation and numerical results that on the part of FAO and on the part of gesture have been considered convenient to introduce. They contemplate several levels of users I think this is a hierarchy that was already and that has been completed in part, in general the general administration that is FAO is incorporated by a country friend who makes the summary of the country and introduces the configuration sheet the configuration sheet are strategic data that are going to mark the processes are the strategic values that are going to mark the different processes The company administration that introduces and visualizes the configuration sheets, this is new is the company administration that really introduces that characteristic of fertilizers, basic elements so that later it is calculated finally the company administration that visualizes and introduces the activity register and that works with all the configuration sheets that allows to do more simple their task and introduce really what is the activity inside there are all the types of registration that you know, surely electricity, fuel mobile fuel maintenance, refrigeration fertilizers, this fertilizers has been completely re-structured residues, water wells have been re-structured as mentioned before, animal traction as well as both in the digestive process and in the steering wheel management and also new are the ground use and the ground use changes finally the structure that, therefore of the web has changed and now as I will tell you also in the part of visualizing the results well the current state of the platform is at this moment is in operative state is operative in the phase of production of FAO probably FAO will proceed to give the accesses and will proceed the mechanism since it is considered convenient but it has been subjected to a very strong check for part of gestation in these moments and it has been corrected surely that we have some other questions when it is used in depth have been corrected the last basic elements now you will be shown by Veronica and at this moment the platform is in production is already operative multi-language conditionaries which is Spanish English with the possibility to incorporate some other languages with a rise of different documents that also will allow us to visualize on a map the different features of a company that you have and I would say that maybe one thing that is innovative and surely will require a refinement in the future that is the treatment of the uncertainty the uncertainty in the data in which the information is being introduced to obtain the values of the CO2 equivalent which in the end is what we produce in the carbon footprint and also in the water footprint this uncertainty I think it is a fairly innovative work quite important that what it does is treat treat with a difficult thing which is the uncertainty that the data that is being inserted to be able to evaluate between what range we are moving and therefore surely the calculation method and other elements can be tuned with a lot of ease and can be adjusted later as I have told you new blocks have been introduced both in carbon footprint and water footprint and I would reiterate a little the idea of the configuration sheets which are editable by both the company and the country's manager is that they allow us to flexibilize and adapt to new uses and handling in the production of the banana in such a way that we were not too restricted to the data that is currently they have but that allow to incorporate new uses that can appear and that in fact surely they will appear in the management in the production and finally the data summary with new output formats SSV, Excel format and PDF and new functionalities of graphic representation thinking trying to adjust to the needs of the users well, here they have a little the idea of they are perhaps this to describe it there is nothing better than entering in the website itself to be able to understand these questions and introduce the data itself that will be happening safely in the next days, weeks and months in which what it allows us is to select the variables representing well in the form of donuts, well in the form of tables, in the values of results that they have and to hierarchy the values results in the function of what interests because in the background what it is essentially escape and identify where we have the data of the mission and therefore take measures or be able to arbitrate procedures that allow to correct if it is possible those sectors in which a major impact is appearing new this is finally what is shown in the website that is to say that can be edited, can be reproduced in PDF reports in such a way that can have these reports, these reports are in such a way identified that allows you to do its traceability in time to be useful in the end to have it on the table not only on the website, but to be able to keep them and see how different actions can change this type of activities and this type of missions here for example this is a table that has cost a little a table and a graph in which they are the different here you can organize the hierarchy depending on what you want in such a way that it will allow us in a flexible way and has said that necessarily requires to enter it and put the data of a company of a company to be able to understand to appreciate the potential of the tool and the capacity that it has to show from different points of view, I remember with the interests of the user how it is being produced in which sectors and which components are the ones that generate the emissions and good because in terms of the basic characteristics of the programming really have produced a series of updates has been more that I have mentioned previously has been more to introduce a model of calculation but the basic technical elements are the update of libraries of the previous version and both in the client part as the server part is a typical customer structure in such a way that it can be handled in a client the graphic summary functionality would be of information what we gain speed in the representation although I think that we are still in this part a little with the desire to give a second review if necessary for this speed which I think is an important element in the management in the previous version what would have been repeatedly done to the server and probably now we have introduced more things but we have gained more ease of access to that server and finally what I have also mentioned in relation to the configuration or configuration tables in such a way that they can identify the fertilizers, the emission supplies, the maintenance products equipment and so on they are categorized and they are simpler to introduce easier and finally the friend the friend of the client that includes the activity does not have to be used to introduce these factors because they are already part of the company's friendship in such a way that the introduction in the day to day of the activities that they are doing in the management and in the production, in the packaging and so on I think that on my part this would be to return to this hierarchy, the user hierarchy of the web and I think that from now on I have already made the word Mr. Miguel Amadeus Thank you Mr. Alfonso very friendly if I am going to do a very quick introduction of the structure of user hierarchy of the web that Mr. Alfonso mentioned before mentioning this tool has two fundamental purposes from the point of view of the user that it allows to have it as a repository of the information permanent and historical of the operation of the company associated with the fingerprint the measurement of the fingerprint first purpose and second of course making a process of those data so that it can generate results about which the company the producer the group of producers take decisions guided with ametric fundamentals that can be established and with that obviously reduce its impacts and have a better opportunity to prove their public interest right? What is the hierarchy structure of the web user? Well, fundamentally it was conceived from its version 1 that FAO is the general administrator FAO is the owner of the tool FAO is the one that allows or facilitates to the company or the producer interested to grant the credentials that is to say the accesses to make a permanent use free of the tool and additionally to that process data of general character to give support to all the work obviously of technical development and support managing all the information of confidential character obviously that it will be eventually entered and managed along the tool then FAO is the one that gives the credentials to the company administrator which is the second level the next please the administrator there are also the functions of FAO basically something that I did not mention is that it enables FAO to open the possibility that a country is entered as a user of the tool and within the country the different business administrators those are responsibilities of FAO as responsible obviously to manage the tool for the different users the next please and FAO then grants the credentials to the company the company, the producer to make use of the tool then gives him an access and I explain this because what we are going to see immediately with the practical part with the exposition of the Verónica company then FAO grants the access to the company, to the producer and is part of the responsibilities of the company administrator to be able to enable the features that are going to be entered by that company to be able to manage their roles will be the responsibility of the company administrator also to enable the finca administrators which is another role that its only function is the ingress of the data, we will see it in the practical level the company administrator is also responsible to review what is called the configuration tab which are the technical parameters on which the calculations are supported both in carbon carbon and water carbon we will also see it operating in the exercise that we are going to show and the company administrator is also responsible and is the one who has the ability to manage the results process them, make decisions based on what you see on the screen and also export those results as I explained to Mr. Alfonso be it a PDF format, an Excel format or CSV as the user needs it next please ok, Jackie we are going to ingress to make a tour in the next minutes with the Veronica partner of the tool she is going to ingress first with the company administrator which is the user who gives him the FAO when he is interested he asks the FAO to start to make the use of the tool we are going to make a tour first with the company administrator to understand those roles and responsibilities but also understanding the importance that she has as a tool of support for the measurement of the weights in the different interests Veronica, thank you very much thank you very much Miguel thank you very much to all and good morning and good afternoon depending on where you are for us it is a pleasure to be with you here and to be able to show you through the tool that you can see what were the changes that were made in this stage of the project and to be able to show you all the improvements that were made and that are going to be available to the user I am not sure if I already have the option to share I don't think so if you want to enable me to share the screen can you check now Veronica, do you think it is ready? Yes, thank you very much Matheus maybe there is nothing more to confirm if you see the image well correct, it looks good Veronica we are going to enter in a test user basically we already have information that is previously entered in the tool to be able to show you the results that can be seen in a graphic way also how the information is shown and that they can see a little the dynamics that the result generation has and then we also have some data, some records by mission source and in the different modules that we have but eventually we can also show you how to add a new record on this screen we are going to enter the test record for now but eventually each one when it is enabled can enter the information corresponding to the user this time we are going to enter with a company user in the company user we are going to have different options well we have a starting part that basically what gives us information of which are that are active the total of the configuration the years of the configuration that are enabled then it is like a summary of the options or the information that is enabled in this side menu we are going to find the different options that the company administrator is going to have to make modifications or configurations or even generate results in this option that says edit account eventually we could analyze what is the information that is registered for the user and the company administrator the name with which it is registered the electronic mail, the password if there is a number of assigned phone if it is something that we want to edit we can modify the information that is here and save it to save the edition or well if it is simply a consultation of the user that we are entering that is enabled and we can cancel it so that it returns to the initial option another of the options that we have here and that maybe suffered some modifications and improvements is the option of configuration sheets where we are going to have configuration sheets for each of the years that we are analyzing here it is important that the configuration sheets are the support of all that are emission factors of all that are potential global warming in the case of carbon footprint or also factors of toxicity, ecotoxicity of scarcity of deutrophization for the issue of water footprint what are indicators that we can also follow with the information that we register in the tool so basically this is the support of the calculations that makes the tool and the results that shows the tool you can have configuration sheets per year, what is important is that only a configuration sheet is kept active per year in this option we can activate or deactivate a configuration sheet and eventually the idea is that a configuration sheet is kept active for the year that I am analyzing but I can keep a historical year that I have analyzed that I have studied, that I have calculated to have evidence of which were the parameters that I used for the corresponding calculations eventually here we can edit the configuration sheets we can add a new configuration sheet if maybe we are already completing 2022 and we are going to add a new year in my studio we can add a new configuration sheet this configuration sheet basically will duplicate the information that we have from the last year in analysis that in this case would be 2022 or the most updated information that can also be modified the information will be updated in factors, we can modify them if there is some data that varies some reference that we are going to change that can be modified there are other options also to clone configuration sheet that is something similar to add a new configuration sheet the important thing is that we can only assign a configuration sheet per year there can not be two for 2022 or two for 2021 but it is only for each corresponding year that we are analyzing I am going to enter the option to edit right now I am active in the configuration sheet of 2021 and I am going to enter in editing for you to see what are the different options that we have within the configuration of the data that we use and which are some of the best here basically what is shown are the different tabs of the configuration of the data that we have available we have production indicators we have the scarce factors around here are some predetermined data and when they are already available the users will have the data that are already predetermined but that can be modified after that we have factors of optimization one of the improvements that we have in these sheets is that we can edit the values so there is some information that is blocked so we are not going to be able to modify because of the characteristics of the information it cannot be modified because if it does not affect the program but of course the value of the factor could be updated for example if this factor no longer corresponds to one but corresponds to 1.5 and there is some update because some modification or update of the data was made we can update it and if we are using another reference we could also change the data and change the reference there are some options within the data editing that we could, when we make the modifications update the register basically what it does is change the information that we are modifying cancel if in any case we just want to consult the information or by mistake we edit and we do not want to modify anything we simply cancel it here or the X and it is also important that it is eventually if I wanted to eliminate a line just that it is important that here if we delete the line completely then we have to pay attention to some details but this option is eventually wanted to eliminate some improvements that were made these editions we expanded some factors some factors were updated we also have the toxicity factors that are even for different active ingredients for the water spring an important list of active ingredients was added however the user can eventually add or modify some of the values that come here and in the case of products with toxicity which is one of the improvements that we have here in the tool Mateus mentioned it one of the improvements is that two systems were enabled which is for the field and for the plant then you can calculate the impact both in the field as the plant in the field if I am not mistaken, it is only estimated for the field and we can link some of these active ingredients to some different or new product that we are using some of these systems for example there is the option to add a register where we can select the system in which we are using a new product, a different product for example, we are going to add one in the field we are using a different one here we can indicate the generator component which in this case would be the name of the product we are going to add I don't know a code there just for the effects of the example we are going to add it of XT and this would be the name of the product that we want to enter new that we are using, it can be by brand it can be by name it can be by commercial home in reality this is open to criteria of the user and we can link an active ingredient and we can select within the list that we have that have been enabled a lot that eventually are like the common deduces that have been identified as common deduces so we can link an active ingredient for example, I don't know the Xamil the presentation which is another of the improvements that are also incorporated in both fertilizers as in this topic of products with toxicity for the calculation of water is that we enable an option to be able to report or calculate based on the presentation of the product it can be that we have products that come in solid presentation or it can be that we have products in liquid presentation and depending on the option that I select in the case that it is a solid presentation it is simply registered as in that format that I select liquid if I have to register a density for example this is basically to facilitate the user that they don't have to do the conversion separately but that the tool facilitates the option to register the product in liquid state and that the tool makes the conversion we simply have to have information about the density of the product or in the security sheet or with information from the producer who is the minister of the product or any technical reference that we have of this product to facilitate that conversion that they can simply report the liters that they are consuming so this is part of what we show you of some improvements that were made this product sheet with toxicity that is completely new additionally we have here the global warming potential that was already managed but also here it gives the option that if we want to use a different potential we remember that maybe the IPCC makes different reports of different years where it publish different warming potentials to a horizon of 100 years right now if I'm not wrong the fifth report is already published that will depend of the countries and the objective for which they use the tool to give you an example for the Costa Rica case there are many companies that maybe they are interested in participating in the country program which is a government scheme a voluntary scheme but many companies are oriented to be incorporated into the program to establish a requirement that the global warming potentials have to be the IPCC's second inform to keep in touch with national inventories eventually there may be countries that don't have a government program and that maybe the companies are simply interested in calculating their emissions not necessarily to participate in a recognition scheme and that they can use or that they are interested in the more current ones so that they vary a little so in these editing options we could modify that value and the reference that we are using also in the field of emission factors that we use for the case of carbon footprint are pre-established all the emission factors that are currently formulated in the tool for different scenarios such as animal extraction which is one of the new models that have been incorporated waste issues fertilizers application the digestive process sterilization management the different emission factors that are predetermined but eventually we can modify in this editing option we can update the emission factor the value so in this case of electricity this is a emission factor that varies a lot depending on the country and the electrical matrix that each country has this is a emission factor that may be different in all countries because each one has its emission factor and that can modify the value and modify the reference it could also be that this factor changes every year depending on the behavior that the different technologies of electricity generation have could be that the factor is updated or changes every year and that this value we have to update it or change it for each year of configuration that we have enabled then another of the improvements or the things that we are going to see different in the configuration of factors is that they were incorporated uncertainties associated to emission factors there let's say that some factors that are general or generic application for all countries because there are many that come from IPCC in this case we indicate as reference because many are already published in the National National Neutrology Institute Costa Rica but also many come from IPCC or even some we take them directly of references of IPCC right? then basically here what we also linked or added were the uncertainties associated to emission factors there are some references of these uncertainties that go according to publications for example also like the IMN National Neutrology Institute of Costa Rica and there are other uncertainties that come from IPCC references also in reality we are taking them we are predetermining them according to the reference that we noted here of emission factor but also it is a data that we can eventually modify to give you an example for example here in electricity if we have an uncertainty of the electrical factor of each country that we already have associated with that emission factor and this is a data that could vary we can change it here in the addition of the data we can update or modify this uncertainty value right? these are some of the modifications and novelties that we have in this configuration sheet a new sheet that is nitrogen factor that basically this sheet also the intention is to facilitate to the users that can enter or so to speak program the different options that we can have of the different uses of fertilizers that we have in farms there are options to be able to add a new fertilizer there is also the option to be able to edit a fertilizer that we have already entered for example, I do not know the URIA which is a data that is already entered and we maybe we are using a different URIA brand and maybe the URIA data that we are going to apply or that we apply in a corresponding year does not have 46% of nitrogen but has 47% of nitrogen we can update the register we can edit those percentages of nitrogen content in each of the products that we are investing there is also the option to add violets to add organic water like compost the RAKIS, the STIERKOL and different types of fertilizers that we can enter for example here if we want to add a new fertilizer we can put here the name I do not know let's say we are going to add a register that is 15 30 20 and this is the name of the fertilizer that we are using that we are going to use in the period that we are going to report here we can select the different categories so to speak, it can be a synthetic fertilizer organic, a viola or a soil corrector in the case of Calisa and Dolomita but in this case let's say it is a synthetic fertilizer another option that is added new is to be able to report or register if the fertilizer is solid and what I have is the nitrogen content in percentage if the fertilizer is liquid for example if I am going to apply a fertilizer to the soil that is a liquid presentation and I have it in a concentration of gram per liter or I have it in a concentration of percent this eventually so that they can register the different presentations that the fertilizers that they are using and that the tool knows the conversion and that they do not have to do the manual calculation of how much is the total of nitrogen that they are applying in the corresponding period but that they simply register the amount consumed and the tool is going to facilitate the calculation of how much is the total of nitrogen applied so depending on the options of the product in which I select it will facilitate me for example if I need to register a percentage or register a density then we can add new products or we can modify the ones that we already have entered in the configuration we also have a new configuration sheet that are maintenance products where we can also link the different types of products that are used in maintenance activities for example lubricant oils the acetylene agent of extractors engine lubricant in two times that Miguel mentioned a moment ago this is something new that was incorporated for example for teams that use oil as a mixture with the fuel this was not previously this was added because it was identified that many farms used mixture oils and that also generate different emissions to lubricant oil for example food and that also generates carbon dioxide and metal dioxide in this sheet we can also modify for example the values that are assigned in the case of acetylene we can link it to different sorry I can open this one we can modify the order in which we are entering the value we can even we have a product that maybe generates another different base that we have to link it a different emission factor we can do the addition of these maintenance products and in the case of emission sources that maybe here is where I am going to show you how we can link them to different emission sources that are going to be displayed in unfoldable lists in the leaves or modules or in the emission sources that we are registering for example now we are going to enter a emission source called maintenance products and if eventually in maintenance products we associate for example teams such as hydropower companies these are the teams that are going to appear in that unfoldable list but if eventually in maintenance products I want to add a a different activity or a different emission source let's say I say ok in maintenance products I also have activities for example maintenance if I have a workshop where I have that does maintenance in the facilities in plants in warehouses, in offices and I have an activity that is an oxyport where I am going to use acetylene so I register that emission source that I want to appear in the unfoldable list and I register or associate which emission source that I want to appear in the unfoldable list so for example maintenance products I add that I appear here and now we are going to see when we enter the user of Finca we are going to see that in the maintenance product emission source the oxyport should appear within the unfoldable list to be able to calculate or associate an emission for example of acetylene consumption so this is a new option because we realized that previously there were pre-established and we could have cases where maybe we used lubricant oils in a different team and we wanted to see how much was the emission associated with the lubricant oil of that particular team or some activity in particular within Finca and that we want to associate the consumption of that activity or that emission source in particular so this option was enabled so that the user can add different teams, activities or processes that are seen as emission sources and link it to the consumption that will eventually represent an emission of gas and carbon and another of the new options that were enabled within the configuration are the uncertainties in activity data these are pre-established values also in reality were enabled uncertainties associated with activity data for each of the emission sources we already have some types of uncertainty that are pre-established and some uncertainty values that are pre-established eventually these values could be modified also if the country already has some associated uncertainty we can modify it here and it can update this value the important thing here is that it may be respected the type of uncertainty for example if we have the data that eventually we look for information associated with the data of activity, for example the tolerances of the electric mediators that we use in each of our farms and depending on the service provider that we have to report the tolerances of the electric mediators but maybe this varies depending on the service provider the technology in the mediator that we are always using so here you can update or modify those data but there are already some pre-established values so that you can calculate the uncertainties of each emission source here maybe I would like to mention that in the case of the tool we are using a calculation of uncertainty that is based on the estimation guide of Costa Rica uncertainty of the country program the guide uses as a reference to Lagoon, which is the estimation guide of uncertainty that are some lines that are basically we use a standard uncertainty and then those standard uncertainties are combined together to be able to give a combined standard uncertainty and that we ultimately represent in an interval in tons however let's say we use as a basis some to be able to get those standard uncertainties in some cases when we didn't have them available in that published guide or in the emission factors that we are using we can use the reference of the IPCC uncertainty so let's say there are some values that are generic for all countries in this case as part of the methodology it was important to have a social uncertainty of emission factors and a social uncertainty of activity that were going to be combined to finally make a combination of all the uncertainties of emission and report a total uncertainty of the inventory this is part of the improvements and modifications that were made maybe there are some limitations for example we couldn't open the options of selecting the different types of uncertainty for example if we were going to use an expanded one if we were going to use a tolerance if we were going to use an interval in some cases we couldn't open so many options because that meant generating many scenarios of calculations and eventually we couldn't open those spaces to select the different types of uncertainty so however we considered and did some tests with the technical support that we also had in Costa Rica and the values and the results are quite acceptable so this part sorry to interrupt I think that in terms of the configuration sheet the record has been extremely important for the effect of the user I hope many of the participants here can already understand that it can be a use of a modification according to the convenience of the company there are several questions that we are seeing in the chat but I think they can be clarified completely I think we can go through an effect of time to see how the company's administrator can have the results and evaluate the administrator of Finca and Finca so that we can go well to the other user I think that will help a lot to solve several of the questions that are already being generated thanks Veronica once we have the results then we have the option of generating results that we can generate here for two different reports that would be the case of water and carbon well let's hope that it generates here here we can select if I want to generate the results of water or carbon there is a series of filters that we have to select the year 2021 I would have to select here the configuration sheet of 2021 so that I can calculate the results according to that configuration sheet the year that I am analyzing for example in this case 2021 the month I could select or generate results per month or I can do it for every month of the period that I am analyzing Finca I could select for all Finca or a particular Finca that I am analyzing or that I want to generate the results and sources in reality here I could also see it by field or by packaging plant in the case of water spring or all systems then basically in the case of water spring we are going to have a first picture where the results of human toxicity cotoxicity eutrophization scarcity in these options in different formats for example csv in excel or for example pdf we are also going to see the system results if I show it here by field by packaging plant where I will also be able to download in different formats and also the graphics that show me which are the system results possibly here I can duplicate this graphic for example if I want to see it in a different way or if I want to eliminate some register or I can see it by the different variables that we have here of options and I could also download the image of the graphic or if I just need a single graphic I can delete this graphic that I duplicate and this is how the results are going to look like where here we can select several filters but basically we are going to leave the same for 2021 every month the refugee farm which is a farm that we are using and all the categories we are going to refresh maybe this may take a little and maybe here important that in order to generate the results it is calculated with the information that we have already registered and it is done the calculation of the URL in function of the information that we have already registered previously maybe there is a brief comment Veronica about what she mentions it is important that all of you know that the web does not store results in real time as the user has the data recorded or is entering and wants to see and generate results so it is very important so that you know that the results are not stored obviously I generate them as a user and I can export them to the formats that have been explained but the important thing is that that results are not stored because it would result extremely heavy in computer terms that understanding to do the use because the user occupies it for that reason it may take a little while here in the processing that we are seeing on the screen at this time that may be because of the data that is being entered that is being worked on can eventually generate some additional time of process this is important because the experience that we were developing time ago obviously the connectivity of our countries and our regions by countries can be very varied very different quality then that can in some way actually incident in the past in that reality and it is part of what the user has to see the convenience to see if he can process it according to his connectivity capacity if he is going to do his own or if he is going to do it at the level of the office if it were the case that it is obtained so that you have it present in that sense but if it takes a while to process the work of the web Thank you Miguel and Veronica if you allow me to add a little thing with respect to the data precisely in line with what Veronica said and Miguel there is a topic as Mateos explained at the beginning and Don Alfonso and Don Miguel the tool belongs to the FAO but not because we have the intellectual property but precisely to guarantee that those data that we are talking about are totally confidential the FAO has also been in charge of doing a scrutiny regarding which countries we had the server to guarantee that in no time in no case no government could even access the information that the servers are so that it is protected by the FAO so that they know that all the users who use the tool in the future which is a web tool that has the information of the servers those servers are absolutely guaranteed so that they do not have leaks or lost information and therefore perhaps give confidential information of the company and fall into the hands of where it should not be so precisely FAO is in charge of that immunity for the issue of information Perfect there perhaps I am going to show you for a moment I am going to show you for a moment the user of Finca so that we can see the input of the data now we are going to try again with a part of the results I am going to show you while it is not charging right now but I am going to show you if you want to take advantage to show them how to enter the data in the case of the user of Finca for example here we can select if we have already created or assigned Fincas to the users of Finca we can select the Finca that we are or that we are going to need to perform the data registration then for example this is the refuge we select the Finca in the part or in the starting section there are some options where the different source of emission or the different modules where we can register data then for example here there are already some data pre-established which we are going to show you in the generation of results but in the different source of emission we can add new records where one of the boxes that come here to register the data have a description of what is the reference to the box to guide the user of which information to register there is some information that is maintained based on the previous tool or the previous module basically here we register information we can select a corresponding year for example and a month corresponding to the register I can indicate a number of documents in this option we can also indicate a description of which is the location of the document or I can possibly add a register for example select an option of a register that I have a invoice a photograph some register that has evidence that you want to add here register a number of measures for example in the case of electricity which is my service provider the category of emission which is something new this was based on the updates of the rules for example 464.1 where now the emission sources are classified by categories work center for example the emission source register the consumption and then do the calculation of the emissions where I can verify the value that it is giving and save that register and basically that register is saved in the list that we see here displayed and this list shows us all the registers that we are incorporating that eventually if we detect that some of these registers are wrong in the information we can edit here the information of that register that we entered previously or simply if we wanted to verify that everything was fine so that it stays there saved the register we can eliminate a register that maybe we entered and that was entered correctly and in the encabezados we can filter the information also of what we have already entered previously so we can serve it for each one of the emission sources in the case of carbon footprint for stationery and equipment mobile, maintenance products which is what I showed you now for example if I want to add a register and I go here if you see here appears the option of OxyCorte for example in its emission source which was the one that we registered previously so here I have the option everything that the company administrator configure in the configuration area it will appear to the finca administrator and registering the information refrigeration for example, fertilizers and mints which is one of the best also significatives that was in the tool here we can select if the product that we are going to register is a synthetic soil corrector, organic, vial and we will see the list is foldable of products that we have already predetermined previously or we have pre-configured in the configuration sheets Verónica sorry I have been trying to see some of the questions although I know that it is not yet the space but I think it is supported here to mention there partner Álvaro Segura present in the audience I know that because the mints were in the nitrogen part if not produced emissions by nitrogen well certainly it is within that rubric of fertilizers and mints that here we see it in the role of inca who is responsible for entering the data but here in what is explaining Verónica is where that segregation is made for the case of when they are obviously in computer level is configured so that the programming to generate the data let's say from data emissions of carbon dioxide and not of nitrogen then let's say they have packed everything that is the use products for use of the soil in this sense, but using mints difference certainly dolomite and carbonate calcium are as and mints that provide emissions carbon dioxide not by nitrogen fertilizer then I take advantage that you are in this space to make that clarification that is one of several of the consultations that are there thanks Verónica another of the improvements or innovations in this section is that the user can select the type of emission factor with the directories or the refinement of 2019 of the directories and PCC there is a segregation of the emission factors in some cases depending on the climate or even depending if they were synthetic fertilizers or they were other fertilizers then in some cases the option was enabled or added added factors so that the user can select for example a function of the climate I want to use an added factor that is a generic average of emission factors then are some of the improvements that this sheet has in the waste part also to enter the data also some modifications were made depending on the different types of waste that can be found in the farms or that can be generated in the farms in the part of water also grouped the way in which the information can be registered and depending on what I select it enables me the spaces that I must be registering for example here if I select a field that previously was only calculated for the field now I add an impact plant then depending on the selection that I do there I will enable me the necessary spaces to respond if I add animal traction for example the digestive process for example although it is true we have seen that the typical use of animals in farms for the traction of the fruit are mules for example we add other options of other types or animal species such as horses, bulls and goats that eventually we consider that there was some kind of different traction and that it was already predetermined so that the user could select within these species that we consider are like the the ones that could be of use as the same in the management of steyrcol they enabled some options of the different systems or types of treatment of the waste or the steyrcol so that the user can select and consider that it was or select and add those that were maybe of common use that we have already seen in some experiences or that could be given in farms so that the user also calculates the emissions according to the management that it does another of the innovations that this section that was incorporated is that it calculates not only the direct emissions of nitrous oxide but it also calculates indirect emissions of volatilization and dehydration in terms of the use of soil for example that is also a new module in the case of soil soil forest areas for example that we have pincas that have areas of coverage with forest or for example natural regeneration a secondary forest or some kind of plantation of these that we believe that were more frequent or of other species the climatic area for example it was enabled because we know that there are pincas that are located in different climatic areas and that can make the calculation the area of forest coverage eventually this is based on the profit but also the loss for example if the area that we have in conservation is made of some extraction of wood if it is extracted of wood or eventually there is some disturbance because of some natural event or some particular situation that made it lose some percentage of the area that we have in coverage and calculates how much is the balance between the profit and the loss then the values that are negative means that they are a removal eventually the result tells us if it is a removal or it also tells us if it is an emission then I am going to show you maybe an example of those that we already had in here where the result according to the information that we put tells us if the balance between the profit or what is the carbon removal and the losses that could have been in that area of coverage it gives us a removal or an emission Veronica sorry that interrupts you let's see that example in the use of the soil and we can see an example I don't know if it is a fertilizer like the finca administrator can generate the calculation of the emission of the data that is entering in real time because we are already with time, we had to finish filming more then for more to adjust to the end of this part of the presentation thank you Veronica maybe I'm going to go to the use of the soil because this is also one of the important improvements and we know that many fincas have been working in practices to preserve and improve the characteristics of the soil in this case we add or incorporate the option so that the user can register the information of the samples that are made according to the intervention area where they are applying good practices agricultural to improve this and the conditions of the soil and that eventually there is a removal on the ground then the tool allows you to generate a basic scenario in a part of the predetermined identification and a later scenario after having done the intervention to calculate also if there is a removal or an emission in the case of fertilizer I will give you the example we see in this case a register that is already predetermined in this case for example we apart from general information if we select synthetic for example the type of fertilizer I go inside the options that I already have predetermined and I will select this type of fertilizer here I put the amount of fertilizer here I select the emission factor for example I add I calculate and the tool will calculate the emission indirect and indirect of nitrous oxygen and I just save it to register and it accumulates in the register list that I will enter in the tool then these are examples of how you can enter the data of the user on the farm by visualizing the calculation at the moment and saving the information so that it is entirely generated in the user of the company or company administrator and that we can visualize the results we are going to call the year also another of the options that the company administrator has is to manage the farm and assign farms or enable farms too and link the farms to the different users so that they can enter the information well this is a little let's see sorry Veronica we can make the explanation this final explanation of the results both in graphics to do the last part the closing of the webinar thank you in this part of the results we can see a first picture where it shows us the information by vision source the emissions by each type of gas and the total insurgency we can also see the expanded uncertainty that is calculating for each source and the total inventory and how that uncertainty is represented in absolute values around the insurgency and the representation of the source these pictures can be exported or downloaded in different formats that we saw previously the graphics are dynamic they are quite friendly for the user where the graphics are the results and eventually if I want to eliminate some mission source of the graphics I can modify it here and it will change how the graphics are visualized if eventually I want to duplicate the graphics to see how the results of some sources are seen in particular and that does not include all then I can do it eventually I can eliminate the graphics or I can download it as an image they are also shown by the results of ground use and we can visualize how the balance is being made in the different changes of ground use and how much it gives for each of the categories and also is the graphic for example the results of ground use there is also a section here where we can eventually filter the order in which we want to see the results for example if we want to see it by mission source and by generator component for example knowing stationery and equipment, how much it corresponds to diesel, how much LPG, how much generator, how much gasoline or we can also possibly change here in terms of categories and see for example for direct categories which are the sources that I have and inside those sources which are those sources that I have reported, right? then in reality I think that and also here there is a graphic of those results we consider that the way in which the results are visualized is quite amicable for the user and gives the possibility that they can export the results manipulate them and see them interactively what is the information that is calculated here and Veronica maybe I would like to make a comment of what you are explaining well this part we consider that it is fundamental that you see the performance that the web of the FAO offers you as companies, as producers potential users of the tool because it is a great effort with the support of the University of Castilla-La-Mancha to make this results even graphics as well as Veronica explained it now to show and play a little with the data from the point of view of the visualization of the results and that obviously the user can discern what happens if eventually it is not considered the emission the weight that has in relation to the other and obviously that this goes in orientation to facilitate the possible technical decision that can take to reduce the impacts in this case of emissions reduce emissions that decisions of measures, actions, technologies good practices can implement to make those reductions to explain the results what are the major impacts in which system and what decisions could be taken of course the tool does not have a configuration called intelligent programming where Alfonso corrects me which is that according to the results once you can analyze what kind of options the employer could have to reduce the impact you have to do it separately and the results that the web of the file offers so much as a graphic and be able to play with them before exporting them that they also have that ease to export them and continue to work with the data apart from the web the potential user really has that advantage that already has the data displayed and with base really supports the interaction that it wants and needs to play with those data we remember that the web document of the file, the first one that Mateus mentioned at the beginning the document that is available publicly both in Spanish and English offers a menu of options in which the user can think that if eventually because it is the inventory of fertilizers from the one that Major has or provides his inventory of farm, well what options technically to reduce it the same if they are fuel or any other inventory and the same situation happens with water well there are a series of technical recommendations of good practices that are offered in the manual of the file that accompanies this tool automated which can be made decisions the videos, the second video has been designed we do not have time to show them designed to be able to use them in different situations and that will be available online for the FAO so that the user of the tool can have some considerations of measures that he could choose according to which are the inventories or the major impacts that it has to intervene to reduce them but the important thing is that FAO offers this tool as an automated medium to be able to support itself in the part of process the general results, take decisions, generate, propose, propose the indicators and base their operation to be able to go in line to an intentional reduction of the emissions of the impacts in the water according obviously to the results as they are processing they are going to you managing and intervening with appropriate measures technically in that sense so we consider that this is a very important part of what the FAO tool offers to you for the effect of support. Something very important I do not know if I'm going to advance some of the questions but this information or the tool allows let's say to store the information and trace the information so that those who are interested in their countries submit to records of inventories, inventories and reductions or eventually reach a neutrality burden for that and precisely it offers also traceability of information according to what I already explained Veronica with a lot of detail for effect precisely that they can also use it for those effects as part also of the tools that are available at the company to develop all the intervention in these technical issues. Very well thanks Veronica thank you very much for all the information, so much detail and it has been very important and we hope that for you the audience has been clear enough of course that one would like to say much more things but we are against the time, there are some other films that we had prepared about the activities that proceed with capacity but maybe Victor and Mateusz just to inform you that we are to start the capacity from next week on this tool and of course invite you to participate in it and the activities that continue to be at the end that I quickly mentioned the first time I had thank you very much and rather we are already in the hands of Victor and Mateusz I don't know if there will be an opportunity to clarify some additional questions that were there in the chat we are left Veronica, don Alfonso and I to the orders Thank you very much Veronica and Miguel has been a very interesting presentation I am aware of all the phases but seeing it again encourages me to continue to investigate and continue to work to continue to improve this tool we are seeing that there may be we don't have half an hour together we can answer more questions that we get in the chat and even comment a little about the capacity activities that we are going to do now because perhaps all this information can be much to be seen for people who are not working on a tool like us but well, let them know that we are going to continue now with capacity in the countries in the countries that we have identified before they will produce capacity materials will be used for capacity but then they will be available to the public in general as everything that Fao produces will be available to the public in general both the tool as capacity now there is a filter let's say to ask for the credentials to access the tool through Fao through the World Bananero Forum but it does not take away that everyone can access the tool we do it so that it does not get massified it can block the tool it is simply for that reason we are asking people to go through the World Banero Forum to have these credentials to access and perhaps we can go through a couple of questions that we are going to answer among all maybe we start Mateo and I I am going to continue in Spanish because we were speaking in Spanish there is a question in the section of questions and answers that if the tool will be able to provide recommendations with respect to how to reduce the carbon footprint the tool as as Mr. Miguel Alfonso commented on it will not be able to do this function itself what I was going to be able to do is the team of capabilities it is expected that during the validation both after the validation and the validation process for certain beneficiaries of these capabilities they do studies of how to improve that carbon footprint which leads me to another very interesting topic which is about that it is not an easy work because you know that the production with respect to the climatic conditions requires more or less chemistry requires more or less transportation there are many variables that make the comparison between companies so it is true that there will always be possibilities to work on strategies to reduce emissions but the comparison with other climates or with other climates in other countries to the eyes of a retailer to the eye of a large chain of supermarkets that wants to know where their investment will be more sustainable it will be complicated it is an exercise that we have to do together and this to tell you that we continue to work we continue to work to be in the avant-garde with the best tool available right now in the market in the management of carbon footprint and carbon footprint and we will continue to work with improvements because we will continue to advance but it is a work that will arrive at work and the collaboration of all it is the most important of all and that's why FAO is investing a lot of money, a lot of funds and a lot of time to have this tool available publicly for everyone because working against climate change is something that makes four sub-markets working against climate change is something that we have to do all together that's why FAO invests so many funds to have these tools at their disposal which are free as I said before not because they are cheap to make them but because FAO is making that effort to have them available so that with respect to the recommendations or strategies to reduce carbon footprint I don't know if Don Miguel, Doña Verónica or Don Alfonso want to add something before I ask another question Don Miguel Yes, I think that what has just been emphasized is quite clear in that sense really the important thing is to be a support guide for the user and to remember what has been published that complements the automated tool brings together a series of recommendations for both wells which are a fundamental base and in these they are generating information and more experiences that's why what Victor mentioned now, the stages that are coming in the part of validation, in the end those accompaniments will be very interesting because they generate an exchange the reciprocal in the part of information to see how to intervene the reduction of impacts on water emissions in an assertive way so it's a matter of growing as an industry from the point of view of the intervention of the wells it's a very important part to be able to take advantage of the tool for it now Thank you Don Miguel, Don Alfonso he saw you with the microphone open, go ahead Well, the truth is that I didn't have any more comments maybe it was a question to remark that they had asked for other types of crops I mean, like an interior of this type of tool for other types of crops and maybe in my knowledge I think there will be to design specifically basic tools associated to the management of the banana, I don't know if there is any additional element if I was completely wrong or selfish if absolutely in principle it requires to be suitable to that type of crops and the equipment can't be used without more initially Yes, absolutely So what makes this tool so powerful for the industry precisely that it is specific for the industry then using it for other crops requires a substantial modification but not in the root let's say that the the pillar of the tool with respect to the measurements is there and the capabilities that are made so that the producers understand that we will use it for other for other crops I don't know if I have used maybe to say that the team of responsible global fields leader Pascal Liu is working right now in the possibility of replicating this for other crops for other tropical fruits and we are working on it I don't want to advance more because I don't want to catch my fingers by giving too much information about the future or at least the study made for other products as I said Victor, yes Maybe I would like to refer if you allow me to ask another question of Mr. Oman Vargas because I think it is important to expand the context that question says, consult this tool being reviewed by INTECO for Costa Rica, they are the main company that audits carbon neutral to take advantage of that question of Mr. Oman and derive it to take a certain context and explain it how well it was explained and Mateus made that reference the tool of its origin sustains the norms made both for carbon and water obviously the methodology and the protocol of greenhouse gas effect more some others from the initial version the previous one, it is not updated the tool has been used by several companies it has been sewed even with phase 2 during the validation we did in Finca, it took the opportunity to participate in the Finca San Pablo de Corbana the company in charge of the Finca we did a sewage on all the experiences were the first declared carbon neutral audited by INTECO and the issue is that the tool has been in that sense totally in the end from the point of view of the expected results in the processing of the data in this stage of the update and to answer in a more direct way Oman also as part of the responsibility towards FAO that we have had from a technical point of view in addition to the professional work we have had really a great invaluable support from the UNO we have had a staff of professionals who are INTECO real-time gas verifiers I am INTECO real-time gas verifier I also collaborate with INTECO other activities or doing other activities for years and the tool is totally aligned so that it stands back from the perspective of the verifications for a carbon neutrality for companies that want to reach that type of declarations the tool facilitates obviously the company will have its tools to achieve it but the tool specifically does allow the traceability of the information to achieve it obviously it is laborious but to achieve it so that they can have an important effort to back up how the tool allows technical calculations but only if you have the hand raised I would like to point out that one of the options that was enabled when registering the information is that the user can add evidence for example records that can give that traceability to the data that is registering and also that the configuration pages allow the user to also register the references of the factors and of the data that is configuring that will eventually also allow to replicate the calculation in an Excel sheet or someone who wants to review or replicate that information you can know where the origin of the information is being used for the calculation and that it can replicate and verify the intention I think of some of those options was that it can be traced and that it is also documented which is the methodological base and the references that are being used for the calculations Thank you very much Veronica Thank you very well gentlemen precisely for this verification this is your time before you finish today's webinar so if you think we are going to close this section of questions and answers with two questions, one of the chat with respect to the directive in life management and another with respect I speak in Spanish directly translating that he understands that the tool is flexible and there is a perspective plan to combine it with other labels where you are the first I mean, you are the last one I respond to the directive of life management Thank you very much Victor and thank you very much for the question Yes, we have the intention to align the tool with the labels that already exist In fact, we have already been contacted by some standards that we like to be proposed to use the FAU tool as part but this is still under discussion and when we have more information we will inform everyone but of course yes Thank you very much Mateo exactly that is the idea the tool is very powerful and we are as I said being consulted by certifiers to see if we can use the tool and we are in discussions about it with respect to the question of GlobalGap, Mr. René Capote with respect to our questions and the tool will help with respect to the with the arrival of the directive of corporate responsibility of life management in Europe in matters like the PEF and the carbon footprint for the product the PEF is still under review according to my understanding it is also the directive in itself, that is something that we are working on now at the level of the country and also there is nothing specific for the banana and we are quite advanced with the tool as I mentioned before the idea is to continue improving and improving together the tool right now does not make the measurement by product but yes by finca but passing the product will be an easy thing in the next and the PEF will be available and it will give us a specific directive with respect to that review so I would answer positively or assertively to that question Mr. René so I think with that we have the questions ready Mr. Mateus please I do not know if there is any more we are good I do not have much time with which we are going with respect to digital innovations we were talking especially Mr. Pascal Lio at the beginning as the head of the team of global responsible value chains and I was also giving him some information a little with respect to the agreements and perhaps it is a lot of legislation new to digest but everything points that the law or the normative that is intended to be installed with the directive of directives it will force the large populations that I mentioned before to have that information and that certification of what they are indicating their features that will be inevitable so what happens to us with many other variables of sustainability and how do we provide traceability to this it will be done through certificate entities it will be done with the governments giving the government access are influencers that will go to the safe to use the issues of soldiers in phao and in the relief forum we have been working in this direction in how to provide how are we going in the avant-garde with the tools of carbon and hydrocarbäm and traceability and we are testing blockchain is the digital innovation digital in which we have been working since a year and a half ago. And we have done it in a way, with some testers, looking for the most suitable way to work at this point, because once we have the tool appropriate to measure emissions and we have the strategies to reduce them, even contracts in the future that help this intake of emissions is, on the other hand, a benefit for the producer who takes appropriate measures in the production with respect to their commercial contracts with the buyer. So, through what is called smart contracts or smart contracts, all those things we were analyzing, both the tools, the forms of traceability, the blockchain seems to be a fashion theme that everyone seems to want to do something, the technological innovation theme is translated in many occasions into blockchain. And not in all initiatives is the most appropriate, even if I would say that 80%, I do not say it, they say it in studies, for example, in many of the initiatives that there are now for the market sector, blockchain does not really come well, but it is not absolutely necessary. But on the other hand, for a global chain like the banana, a system to collect all the information, all the data permanently and in a way with access control that people can control and where all members of the chain of global submissive are forced or are working to put those data within that blockchain with that intention of traceability, that type of initiative, that type of blockchain, is the one that is really useful. If we could, in this way, have all the information, from the manufacturing of the agrochemicals, to the delivery, in short, to the producer receiving the agrochemicals and managing them within that database and informing them about their use, through, for example, the measurement tool of carbon and water. Then all the different steps that I am going to explain to you now, both the production, then the transportation, then the ripening station, the storage stations, like the supermarkets, if all that were within a blockchain, including the salaries, etc., would be very easy to traceability in the industry. So we are not still there, but as I was saying, if we want to be at the vanguard offering that type of tools through FAO, for free, so that people can get to the day with these legislations, or with these regulations that are going to arrive in the mid-term or the early-term. So to get to that vanguard, we have been analyzing the availability of costs, because there are blockchains that the costs are very high, who makes the blockchain? It is an open source blockchain, it is something private that is done by a company, and therefore the costs are increased, the issue of traceability, what I mentioned before, regarding the confidence of the information. If FAO, in the United Nations, is in charge of keeping that information, then the government, whether it is where the server is, will be able to access the information of those servers, and mutability, which is also very important for traceability. So all those variables were analyzed from May, from January, last year, and we had conversations for information regarding blockchain, as it happens at university, we had a lot of conversations with MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, also with Stanford, with Columbia, New York, and Columbia has, for example, an agreement with IBM and its blockchain center and data transparency. We talked with blockchain providers, there are several like IBM, in collaboration with Columbia, with that initiative that I told you about, IBM Blockchain, Microsoft, Azure, Amazon, with AWS, they call it English, the Amazon Web Services, the part of Amazon that is in charge of this blockchain creation, SAP, and its activities in the cloud, two Italian providers, but I am telling you the most important about what is more important about blockchain, especially for the topic, what can be useful for the topic of Auropecual. All this to tell you that, just like we work on a measurement tool of carbon footprint, the best that exists for the industry, we have also tried to find what providers could give us good solutions within the budget and within these conditions that I said before, regarding the creation of blockchain. Finally, we are working with Amazon, we have made an agreement with them in a time, let's say, to counter it, from the beginning of this year, FAO signed an agreement, the World Bank Forum, our team, led by Pascal Liu, we signed an agreement for the creation of this blockchain and we are now in its final phase. The blockchain is already seen, we have been given the last version, we are in the revision phase, as I said before, for example, Don Miguel or Don Alfonso, these revisions take time because there is no error, there is no data drop, etc. We are in the same phase and I am very pleased to be able to present the results now. We are, I tell you, still in this phase of revision. And Mateos, please, if you can be the next positive day and, as I said, the most important thing is to be able to register and share information regarding emissions and to provide transparency and traceability, as I told you before, with this immutability of information through the blockchain and with it, to develop strategies focused on the banana chain, where we have all the actors of the global chain instead of production. For my voice, which I am not in a good shape today, I will leave this positive one here. Only to tell you, when Mateos said that with the tool that Don Alfonso and Don Miguel just presented, we covered these three first phases in the production phase, with the blockchain we will cover up to the supermarket. So, Mateos, I leave you with the time we have until the end, we will have 5 or 10 more minutes I will consult with them while you speak and, please, go ahead with the information of the blockchain. Thank you. Thank you very much, Victor, for the introduction and, as Victor said, the idea of the blockchain is to bring transparency and immutability to the insertion of the data. We have developed this blockchain in a way that is also communicated with the tool of carbon water and water for many of its calculations but that extends its reach, covering emissions of international maritime transport, of the port, of maturation stations and supermarkets. So, now the calculations and the results obtained by the blockchain will not only teach the company but also the way from production to the gondola of the supermarket. Here we have some examples I will not go into detail of the processes and the emission sources that are connected by the blockchain then I will talk a little further. Here, there is also another visual scheme of how the data of the blockchain is organized. It is divided into nodes that are the types of users that will use data and will see the data of the blockchain. The first are producers that are covering production and post production. The producers will insert the data on the blockchain. These data are communicated with the tool of carbon and water where the calculations are made. Then additional modules are created that will cover the transport terrestrial within a country and also the maritime transport. Then, another module that will cover the cameras of maturation and storage and other related to the distribution of the supermarkets. Also in a node, let's say, it would be the regulator, which would be the node of the FAO that will feed the configuration data mentioned by Veronica, which are the basis of the calculations of all emissions in Wales. Maybe I will change now to English because the first I will change to English because the first version of the blockchain is in English language but it is a problem for the interpreters. Here we have a general view of some of the emission factors or models that are being covered for the blockchain. Here in the Banana producer, we can see all the modules mentioned by Veronica but we are also covering land transport, as mentioned maritime transport, storage, reckoning station, retailers and FAO as a regulator inserting the data that will be the base for the calculations. We are not only calculating carbon and water footprints with this blockchain, it's also a logistic tool. We can also monitor the lots that this blockchain is worked by lots. The producer, when they harvest the bananas and they produce a lot of shipment, you can insert this lot with the amount of weight and then in the end, when these will arrive to the retailer, you will have the carbon footprint of the total weight of the lot and also the carbon footprint of the banana box or the kilo of banana. The idea is to now develop strategies focused on the supply chain. Retailer now could analyze which type of company to do the maritime transport is more sustainable, which producer which ripening station and then develop common strategies focusing on the supply chain and not only in the specific consistency separately. Here we have a view more, let's say realistic of each one of these components because they are not just electricity there is, for example for electricity, the information that would be stored in the blockchain is not only the consumption but also the date and time of this consumption and for example an electricity invoice, a PDF. So the blockchain is able to storage not only the date on the carbon footprint but also the data that will back or that will not certify but that will prove that these components are being inserted correctly. So in this idea with these functions we will allow that the information certain the blockchain is accurate and it's correct. So the users of the system will have no space or very little space to insert wrong information and this could be used to in the future we understand perhaps to certify or to support the certification process and also to support the reporting processes of all of these companies that are working together into the blockchain. Going in more detail of the type of the track and trace of the components of the blockchain here we have a schematic view of the use of diesel by a diesel generator so when a farmer for example that banana producing organization that is using diesel generators will insert information all these will be stored in the blockchain. On top of the PDF or the proof of for example the invoice of the diesel here for an example is just to show how it works adding 5 liters of diesel that are being using in the diesel generation the total of CO2 of methane and of nitrous oxide is calculated and then in the end the total of CO2 equivalent is calculated and storage in the blockchain and this is also data from the lot from the type of the registry when it was created and the document that is proving that this user has used 5 liters of diesel for this component maybe this is a bit abstract way to see the how the data is stored so now let's show how the tool shows the results or how the tool is structured here we can see a view from the blockchain tool it is divided in four different stages as mentioned production ripening, shipment and distribution here when the user enter with the credentials can have a general view very similar to what we have in the carbon and water footprint but related to his emissions or her emissions in case if I am a logistic provider when I open the tool I can have a general view of my carbon and water footprint for that particular year and then you can go to the level of lots of banana and then to the carbon and water footprint tool of this user here other example for distribution that you can see there is less components with maintenance electricity, humidity control refrigeration for the retailer so depending on the type of the user you have different results because the emission factors for a banana producer is different for a logistic provider for example of maritime transport I know you are already reaching the time so I will try to go a bit fast on that just to show how the results now are presented in this blockchain tool we have here first all the components that will comprise the carbon footprint tool and water footprint tool from the farms then you can click for example in the logistic providers and have the results for the logistic part then for the ripening stations logistics again traders until the retail here other example clicking as an example as the tool was open you click in logistics then you can see the type of the mode of lot management in this case would be storage so you can then go to the detail of all the operations of the different stakeholders and see the carbon and water footprint tool sorry the carbon water footprint of each one of these operations the same here for traders for the ripening station and if you click in one of these events any one of that you can have the month and the year where these emissions where when this event was created in the blockchain sorry in this case it is transport you can see the distance in kilometers the type of fuel well and the consumption in liters and then the results of total nitrous oxide emissions the thought of methane emissions and the thought of CO2 equivalent emissions and in the end the idea is that the blockchain will provide a similar results report here we have the same as the carbon water footprint tool but one that will cover all the different stakeholders so in the end a retailer can have the full information of this banana box from the moment that leaves the gate of the farm until reaching their their supermarket and until reaching the client also so we you can have this general view and then develop the strategies with the full view know not only viewing things separately but with the full view of the value chain and with that I know you are a bit I'm aware of the time so I would like to pass back the screen to Victor please you have the screen I don't know if there is some time for questions and answers if you could check with the interpreters exactly maybe first question will be for the interpreters if they can give us a few minutes more six seven minutes more if that's okay then maybe we can go through questions that we didn't reply I mean please formulate your questions on blockchain the carbon water footprint tool the programming behind if you because we still have as mentioned a few minutes there was a question in the questions and answers section I will switch to Spanish the questions in Spanish and I think that maybe others on Miguel can answer this question and it's with respect to the raw materials the pallets where do they come in? Miguel would like to answer this question thank you Victor if you can interpret it well there are indeed companies that have their own plantations in some cases which make preparation of the tarim they have their industry to process the wood in their dried ornaments of course all that management of the biomass from the forest plantation that is processed in tarima and that a lot of the biomass is consumed in the same ornaments, the same processing indeed there is a section of the tool that allows estimations of emissions from that biomass that is transformed so if the person who asks the question is in what case the tool will allow estimations of all the emissions that biomass that is being transformed at the level of the processing towards the pallets thank you thank you Miguel Don Mateus there he asked us if we have a certificate if you would like to answer that question Mateus thank you I think this question is about certificates of participation in the session I think for the time I did it I think it was when we were talking about the graphics I think it refers more well to if there is a certificate by the tool with respect to emissions I think you should elaborate on that thank you very much Victor yes, of course as you had already mentioned at the beginning Don Alfonso and Dona Verónica and also Miguel the tool is not possible the creation of an inform of an inform that will have a unique code that can then be checked with the date and time of when it was deployed and this inform can be edited it is customizable then the user can add different graphics and depending on their interest for those who need the inform you can see for example graphics in the specific emission of a gas methane or nitrous oxide direct emissions then the idea was to give this variety of results for the user so that you can make decisions in the most informed way possible and for the blockchain the same thing but not only for a specific user it can have the inform of their activities but also in the end it can have an inform more with the vision of the product in which all the emissions of the chain are seen so yes as I said it is also planned that there will be new phases because we will continue to advance and improve it and especially when we have more information with the directives the corporate responsibility of life management so once it is required the retailers will also be customized, that is to say suitable the inform of the tool for the producer if it is useful for the producers of their commercial activities it is useful for the retail and we go with the last question because I am aware that we have interpreters working two and a half hours intensively then a question for Don Miguel I understand there is an interface that estimates the emission of gases by the decomposition of the biomass of the plants would have like two fronts one is if it is the biomass of the plantation it does not estimate that emission because according to the methodology of IPCC in this case in this culture as other agricultural crops happen for the nature is the type of crop the biomass that grows produces and decomposes which is incorporated immediately to the plantation basically it is taken as zero but it calculates all the other biomass that is produced in situ in the plantation or eventually that can be brought from other places to recarbonize the soil of the crop I mean, for example, the terracid pincot of the fruit that comes from the packaging that is dismantled and that is practically one of the best strategies that are being used measures is to crush, to incorporate once in the soil or to compost with other ingredients and incorporate the soil of the crop of the banana the tool has it and it forms part of the fashion of the fertilizers that were made of erroneous in its time back then what it requires is basically that the companies, the producer the farm makes analysis let's say recurrent of that biomass material that is going to be incorporated in the nitrogen percentage and those are two personal data that the producer the company the farm can enter the tool and make the calculations that it provides if eventually that structure is incorporated to the soil obviously the seedlings are calculated of the nitrous oxide if eventually they are composted in other sites of the farm that are added to other ingredients there are other types of additional fermentation the tool also allows it to calculate in addition to the nitrous oxide so it does allow it in those conditions to handle the biomass that is incorporated to the crop thank you very well I know from Miguel well, we have a last question here regarding the carbon capture for the banana plants I don't know if very quickly in a few seconds Domateus for example would you like to answer that quickly thanks Victor as I mentioned earlier the tool calculates the carbon capture for the sustainable practices on the ground and for the change in the use of the soil if there is a degraded passage and then incorporate a forest or a forest or a banana plantation the change is calculated but the plants themselves as a mitigation strategy is not contemplated in the characteristics but it is calculated with the good practices the recarbonisation of the soil and the forest cultures that can be incorporated thank you Domateus very well I am aware of the time that we have spent and we have had a great participation today we have reached 150 participants in the call and the interesting thing is the climate change and the mitigation of greenhouse gases and hydroguide for all the producers and also for the retailers as I said before it is not something we should measure to the door of the farm but the carbon and hydroguide and the emissions and the climate change is a responsibility of everyone to the consumers and so many and so many intellectual contributions by many officials apart from the secretary to coordinate the activities to have this information available publicly for you so well I am very proud that we are advancing and that we have these materialised tools the tool thanks to Gestase, thanks to the University of Castilla-La Mancha thanks to the secretaries the tool is working and we are starting as Mr. Miguel said with the capacity in Breve we will continue with the improvements with Donald Alfonso we will continue to work with Don Mateus with respect to new versions that will be missing in the future for example this question solar panels new technological advances to capture the carbon all those new quality of the tools will be added in the future because this is a work that will not end here we will continue working on it and my idea would be that we all have that capacity to include this information both in the tool and in the blockchain as I said before the importance of traceability retailers and supermarkets will need the producers to certify their ambitions in the future and that it is better to do it with a tool like the tool we are offering not because we have no benefit but because it is something that will help us to fight climate change so this normative in the European Commission we consider it an open window to other continents to other banana buyers in other parts of the world regarding social and environmental issues and surely this tool will be more useful for European buyers in the first place and for the producers that supply to the European market but I understand that in a short time in other continents it will stop being something voluntary and doing something obligatory in control of these emissions in the supply chains and with that I say thank you to the panelists for their dedication especially thank you to Don Alfonso who has been poor and I am going to say it publicly because I feel so proud that he has had a traffic accident he has broken ribs last week and even so today he has decided to be with us on the call so Don Alfonso thank you very much for your participation and effort thank you for your desire and because I am on a better path I have been able to be here with all of you thank you very much we are very happy that the emissions are recovered so quickly and that it has not been serious that is the most important thing we are all together to continue working together and thank you so much of course to the secretary and to the interpreters who are already dedicating 14 more minutes thank you very much for your time and have a good day we will keep in touch with more information
