Usage Guidance
-
The IRIS catalog differentiates between land that the organization directly controls and land that the organization indirectly controls. This metric is intended to capture the area of land that is under the organization's indirect control.
-
Indirect control refers to land that the organization supports or influences but does not directly cultivate or manage. Examples in which an organization indirectly controls land may include purchase contracts or sourcing from farmer cooperatives.
-
Organizations that exert control over land practices of indirectly controlled land should footnote these details (for example, when an organization specifies that farmers adhere to specific environmental practices).
-
This metric includes crops cultivated through low-till and no-till methods.
