Examples: reducing the frequency of soil cultivation, minimalist plot preparation, restoring organic matter and preserving soil microfauna.
Examples: reduction in the use of chemical mineral fertilizers, phytosanitary products, measurement of crop needs in real time via predictive tools.

Bonvillers, a charming village nestled in the Oise department in Picardy, embodies the beating heart of northern French agriculture. This region of fertile plains, shaped by millennia of cereal crops, benefits from a temperate oceanic climate with abundant rainfall ideal for major crops like wheat, barley, and rapeseed. Historically, Picardy has been France's breadbasket, its local economy relying on intensive farming that supports thousands of jobs and feeds the national agri-food industry.
Vincent Loisel's farm is located in Bonvillers in the Oise county. Thanks to this project, the farmer hopes to take his approach to diversified, more environmentally-friendly agriculture a step further. By changing its practices, the farm will avoid the emission of 181.15 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year, i.e. 905.75 tonnes over the 5 years of the project*.
Financing a project to reduce emissions in large scale crops makes it possible to reward reductions in emissions that are already effective depending on the progress of the project, unlike planting trees which will only sequester the CO2 expected in decades.
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions linked to fertilization:
- Reducing the amount of mineral nitrogen applied to crops: better optimization of inputs, less volatile forms of nitrogen, decision-support tools, adjustment of yield targets, etc.
- Introduction of new crops in the rotation with lower nitrogen requirements (legumes).
Increase soil carbon storage:
- Increase organic inputs (surface area or input dose).
- Increase in the areas sown with intermediate crops or catch crops, allowing an increase in cover which is favorable to water retention and limiting erosion. Increased sequestration in biomass.
The final value of the estimate will only be established after verification by an independent auditor and an administrative verification decision.
