Label Bas Carbone
Examples: reducing the frequency of soil cultivation, minimalist plot preparation, restoring organic matter and preserving soil microfauna.
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.

The Dordogne, located in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, is renowned for its diverse, high-quality agriculture. Lamothe-Montravel enjoys a temperate oceanic climate, ideal for growing nut crops such as walnuts. The area’s well-drained, limestone-rich soil fosters the development of orchards. The region is increasingly prioritizing agroecology and sustainable practices, aligning with the LBC approach adopted by the project. Walnut production contributes to local economic vitality and the preservation of rural landscapes. This agricultural setting strikes a balance between tradition and innovation, enhancing the appeal of the local area.
Mr Baron plans to plant 2.2 additionnal hectares of walnut trees in January 2024. The selected plots were previously used for annual cereal crops.
Planting permanent trees will enable more CO2 to be sequestered throughout the year than would be the case with a temporary crop. This project will enable 116.94 tonnes of CO2 equivalent to be stored over 20 years*.
The soil will also be able to sequester more CO2 because it will no longer be worked every year. What's more, this new plantation will require less fertiliser and treatments than previous crops. This new cultivation method will help to avoid emissions, making the project even more virtuous.
The farm has held High Environmental Value (HVE) certification since 2022, which guarantees reasoned and efficient management of its inputs (fertilisers, irrigation, plant protection products) as well as the preservation of hedges, tree lines, woodland edges and other natural features of ecological interest around the plots.
The project addresses social and economic issues : Most of the walnuts produced will be sold locally.
Water resources will be used sparingly, as the orchards have an underground drip irrigation system that allows for sensible watering. Maintaining 80% grass cover in the orchard also helps retain moisture and limit water requirements.
* The final value of the estimate will only be established after verification by an independent auditor and an administrative decision on verification.
