Disclosure form
No single formulaReport the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. AF.C3.1 requires two linked reportable output fields—quantity and percentage—for sourced agricultural and/or forestry inputs. It remains distinct from FA.C3.0 because its population includes forestry inputs and its required value shape includes a quantity field as well as a percentage.

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

- Identify the baseline water-scarcity classification or source used to identify high and extremely high water-scarcity areas.
- Describe how sourced-input origin and geography are determined.
- State the denominator used for the percentage of sourced agricultural and/or forestry inputs.
- State the quantity unit and any conversion approach used for reported input quantities.
Record-specific limitations
- The result depends on the water-scarcity classification applied to source areas.
- The result depends on traceability of agricultural and forestry input origins.
- The percentage is not comparable without a consistent total-input denominator.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
