What is the significance of the first SGS fruit industry carbon footprint certification in China?
"What's in the strawberry field?"
"Strawberries have a carbon footprint!"
Strawberry is one of the characteristic agricultural industries of Lishui's "five berries (plum)", the "golden signboard" of Lishui, and the "fruit of getting rich" for berry farmers. Nowadays, there is more green kinetic energy behind this "golden" signboard. The country's first SGS fruit industry carbon footprint certification certificate was issued to Lishui Strawberry Farm, which attracted praise again and again, and such a green "carbon" cable has many vivid practices in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province.

What is the significance of the first SGS fruit industry carbon footprint certification in China?
"This is the first of its kind in the country. ”
In the Lishui Golden Manor Strawberry Farm, the person in charge showed a fruit industry carbon footprint certification certificate, which comes from the internationally recognized testing, inspection and certification body SGS, "Carbon footprint is an important indicator to measure the environmental impact of products, compared with foreign enterprises, the measurement data of Golden Manor strawberry products have outstanding advantages, which is of positive significance to promote Lishui strawberries to enter the international market." Wu Yingqiang, vice president of Nanjing Golden Manor Company, introduced.
Working day and night in the strawberry farm, for the production director, in addition to ensuring the quality of the product, it is also necessary to think about low carbon. "In the long run, the product carbon footprint is the most intuitive environmental indicator of the products produced by the enterprise, and it is a higher practice standard for the enterprise to understand and implement the circular economy. ”
Thinking must always be translated into practice and implemented in bits and pieces. In the strawberry garden of Golden Manor, for soil improvement and improvement, Golden Manor proposed an innovative way to use bio-organic fertilizer and corn rotation to improve soil quality, and adopted methods such as "corn rotation-mustard rape biofumigation" to optimize the production environment and avoid continuous cropping obstacles. According to the soil conditions of the park, the use of customized organic fertilizer has significantly improved the soil continuous cropping obstacles, the strawberry yield has increased by more than 5%, the soil organic matter has increased by more than 10%, and the pH is stable between 6 and 7. At the same time, relying on scientific and educational units and self-developed green agricultural input technology, Golden Manor has reduced the use of pesticides and fertilizers and other inputs by more than 40%. In addition, in terms of packaging materials, recyclable materials have been thoroughly utilized, and emission reduction starts from every link, landing, and finally achieves good results.
From 2023 to 2024, Lishui Golden Manor Strawberry Farm officially launched the carbon footprint certification program, and after more than two months, it was calculated that the carbon footprint of one ton of strawberries produced by Golden Manor from the cradle to the gate was: 1.619 tCO2e/ton. "This data is already much lower than the existing data at home and abroad. When it comes to low-carbon work, Wu Yingqiang is very proud and has the right to speak.
Wu Yingqiang said that carbon footprint certification can achieve green transformation and development, enhance product competitiveness, and effectively deal with green trade barriers, which can help products go abroad and win international market recognition.
Organic fertilizer, giving ecological agriculture a "chance"
"Smell it. ”
As soon as we walked into this chicken farm, the person in charge asked us to stand in the workshop and smell the peculiar smell in the factory. "There's not a hint of chicken manure!" said the person in charge's self-confidence. In recent years, Jiangsu Chunshen Technology Co., Ltd. has followed the principle of "reduction" to achieve "high utilization, low emission, and reuse", in the words of the person in charge, "we also want to raise chickens green!"
Chicken raising is a project that the majority of villages have, chicken farms around the country emerge in endlessly, so chicken manure has also become a headache for many chicken farms, how to deal with so much chicken manure produced every day, not to deal with it will seriously affect the growth of broilers, and random treatment will be complained about polluting the environment. That's when we came up with microbial composting technology.
Microbial composting technology uses the decomposition of microorganisms to convert organic waste into organic fertilizer. In the process of composting chicken manure, microorganisms can effectively decompose the organic matter in chicken manure, degrade pollutants, reduce odor generation, and improve the nutrient content and stability of fertilizer.
Nowadays, in Jiangsu Chunshen Technology Co., Ltd., a machine is running, the site is full of chicken manure converted into gray-black organic fertilizer, a pile of seemingly inconspicuous chicken manure through the fermentation, crushing, screening, granulation, packaging and other processes, "transformed" into organic fertilizer. "Turning waste into treasure not only reduces the breeding of mosquitoes and flies, reduces the spread of bacteria, but also helps the circular development of ecological agriculture. The person in charge of the enterprise introduced.
Smoke-free workshop when a zero-carbon factory is underway
"There are many welders and a lot of smoke during operation, which is not only damage to the ecological environment, but also damage to the physical safety of workers. "Jiangsu Guanchao Technology Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise, in the context of the current low-carbon development, this company has also increased investment in the research and development of environmental protection equipment.
"The investment in environmental protection is 'not at a loss'. "Inside the building, the person in charge showed us the latest exhaust gas treatment facilities. According to the actual operation and welding process layout, Jiangsu Guanchao Technology Co., Ltd. upgraded the original waste gas treatment facilities. "After design and construction, it not only ensures energy saving, but also ensures the effective suction of smoke and dust generated by welding, protects the working environment of workers, and achieves the filtration effect to meet the standards of environmental protection emissions. ”
After testing, the gas discharged into the air from the chimney after the smoke and dust is purified meets the requirements of DB32/4041-2021 of the "Jiangsu Province Air Pollutant Comprehensive Emission Standard", the emission concentration is ≤ 10mg/m³, and the smoke and dust purification and filtration efficiency is greater than 90%. "Now that we work, we feel safe. Said a worker who was working on the site.
The relevant person in charge of Jiangsu Guanchao said that in the next step, the company will focus on the strategic goal of "double carbon", adhere to low-carbon development, accelerate green technology innovation, and realize the "intelligent, green and high-end" development of the manufacturing industry.

These vivid practices are a microcosm of the low-carbon development of the whole city, reflecting more and more thinking and active exploration of green and low-carbon. The leader of the atmospheric department of the Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment introduced. From the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government issuing the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting High-quality Development and Doing a Good Job in Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality", to the launch of the national carbon peak pilot project in the Jiangning Economic and Technological Development Zone, to the exploration and construction of "zero-carbon future cities" in the southern new city and ecological science and technology island, to accelerating the cultivation of new forms of green, low-carbon and circular business and promoting the construction of zero-waste cities, to exploring agricultural emission reduction and increasing sinks in Gaochun, Nanjing, the first carbon ticket transaction in Jiangsu Province has been successfully completed. In Nanjing, a number of characteristic highlights have effectively promoted the green and low-carbon transformation and promoted the development of new quality productivity.
In recent years, Nanjing has conscientiously implemented the strategic deployment of "dual carbon", closely followed the requirements of green and high-quality development, strengthened top-level design, promoted low-carbon transformation in key areas such as energy, industry, construction, and transportation, encouraged innovation and demonstration, and advocated low-carbon life.
