Through multi-stakeholder collaboration, SISC has developed, refined and adopted eight Version 1.0 Working Metrics: 

​

• Applied Water Use Efficiency

• Habitat and Biodiversity

• Energy Use with GHG Translator

• Nitrogen Use

• Phosphorus Use

• Soil Health: Organic Carbon Concentration and Aggrigate Stablity

• Simple Irrigation Efficiency

• Food Loss

​

SISC is currently working on 1 new metric:

1. Soil Emissions

​

Read details about each of the individual Working Metrics here. And, if you would like to see a DATA Dictonary, which lists all data needed to complete each metric, you can see that HERE.
