Description:	Abstract: The pressing urgency of global climate change demands immediate action. In Brazil, the agricultural sector stands out as a significant contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing 33.2% of the nation's total emissions (Brazil, 2021). Effective mitigation and management of GHG emissions in agriculture require robust methodologies, tools, and targeted policies. One such essential tool is Footprint Pro Carbono (FPC), designed to assess the carbon footprint of agricultural products within cropping systems, including key crops like soybeans and corn. This study presents the core features of FPC and insights from a case study involving soybean farmers in Mato Grosso, Brazil's leading soybean-producing state, responsible for a substantial production volume of 38 million tons in 2022.
