Label Bas Carbone
Examples: reducing the frequency of soil cultivation, minimalist plot preparation, restoring organic matter and preserving soil microfauna.
Examples: diversity and locality of crop species, preservation of habitat for local flora and fauna, presence of beehives for pollination.
Examples: territorial dynamics, societal demand, diversification of the activity, local sales/processing, working conditions, sharing of good practices.
Examples: Consideration of wetlands, use of adapted species, drip-connected irrigation tools.

Agricultural walnut and hazelnut cooperative that brings together more than 350 producers in the western half of France.
Read moreNew plantation of 4.75 ha of hazelnut trees in the Tarn
Located in the heart of Tarn within the Occitanie region, the village of Parisot benefits from fertile soils and a temperate climate, ideal for diversified agriculture and tree crops. Tarn is renowned for its rolling landscapes and vibrant rural heritage, with a strong tradition in cereal farming, livestock, and arboriculture. The region, historically rooted in large-scale agriculture, is now embracing agroecological transitions and promoting local value chains. Occitanie, France’s second agricultural region, stands out for its rich fruit production and dynamic rural economy, driving innovations in sustainable agriculture.
Mr. François Mademba-Sy plans to expand his hazelnut crops by planting 4.75 ha of orchards in November 2022. The selected plots were previously used for annual crops.
Planting permanent trees will sequester more CO2 throughout the year than a temporary crop. This project will store 246.84 tons of CO2 equivalent in 20 years*.
The farm has been certified High Environmental Value (HVE) since 2022, which guarantees a reasoned and efficient management of its inputs (fertilizers, irrigation, phytosanitary products) as well as the preservation of hedges, tree lines, wood edges and other natural features of ecological interest around the plots.
This project allows the relocation of hazelnut production in France, as this product is nowadays mostly imported from abroad. A majority of the sales of hazelnuts of the exploitation are made at the local level.
The soil will also be able to sequester more CO2 because it will not be worked every year. Moreover, this new plantation will require less fertilizer and treatments compared to previous crops. This new cultivation itinerary will contribute to avoid emissions and make the project even more virtuous.
The water resource will be used in small quantities because the orchards have a buried drip irrigation system that allows a reasoned watering.
* The final value of the estimate will only be established after verification by an independent auditor and an administrative verification decision.
