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.

Mr Sainte-Marie's farm plans to expand its hazelnut crops by planting 8.4 hectares of orchards during the winter of 2023-2024. The selected plots were previously used for annual cereal crops.
Planting permanent trees will sequester more CO2 throughout the year than a temporary crop. This project will enable 414.91 tonnes of CO2 equivalent to be stored over 20 years*.
This project will enable hazelnut production to be relocated in France, as this product is currently imported mainly from abroad. Sales of hazelnuts will supply the French market.
The hazelnut will diversify the crops present on this farm.
The soil will also be able to sequester more CO2 because it will no longer be worked every year. What's more, the new plantation will require less fertiliser and treatment than previous crops. This new cultivation method will help to avoid emissions, making the project even more virtuous.
Water resources will be used sparingly, as the orchards have an underground drip irrigation system that allows for sensible watering.
* The final value of the estimate will only be established after verification by an independent auditor and an administrative decision on verification.
