A without-project scenario is required to provide a counterfactual of conversion rate against which to determine avoided conversion. This can be calculated as the area of land converted in the surrounding landscape, identified through remote sensing techniques such the use of Global Forest Watch.","communication":"The indicator is appropriate for providing an indicative estimate of GHG emissions avoided through the project.\r\n\r\nThe indicator can be reported as total tCO2e or per tonne of commodity produced if part of a productive agricultural system.\r\n\r\nThe accuracy of the estimate will be influenced by the level of accuracy of counterfactual scenarios.\r\n\r\nThe methodology presented in this KPI is not appropriate for originating carbon credits.
