How to prepare for the LSRS, with AdAstra CEO and Watershed expert

AdAstra's CEO Xavier Bengoa and Watershed’s Steven Watson answer the toughest questions on the LSRS, land use change, EUDR, rebaselining, and more.

The Land Sector and Removals Standard introduces new rules for how companies account for land-related emissions—and most teams have the same questions. Where do we start? How do we make progress without full traceability? Which methodology should we use first?

We sat down with AdAstra Sustainability CEO Xavier Bengoa and Watershed's Steve Watson to get direct answers. This Q&A covers what the LSRS changes and the real decisions companies face when preparing for the LSRS—from choosing between direct and statistical LUC to getting credit for farm-level work when you can't trace the product.

What Xavier and Steve cover:

• Where to focus when you're a lean team starting from zero
• Why chasing full traceability on day one is the wrong move
• How supply chain mapping prepares you for both the LSRS and EUDR
• Which industries beyond food and beverage need to align
