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.

Located in Saint-Clet in the Côtes d'Armor department of Brittany, this project is rooted in a rural territory with a millennial agricultural history. The Côtes d'Armor, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, enjoy a mild oceanic climate with temperate winters and cool summers, ideal for agroforestry and perennial crops like hazelnut orchards. Historically, this region is a stronghold of Breton agriculture, where dairy farming, polyculture, and traditional orchards have shaped a verdant landscape of hedgerows and valleys. The local economy relies on agri-food, with a strong dairy footprint.
Mr. Daniel plans to further develop his new fruit tree business on his farm by planting 6.84 hectares of hazelnut trees during the winter of 2025-2026. The selected plots in Saint-Clet were previously used for annual crops. This culture is still very little established in Brittany.
Planting permanent trees will make it possible to sequester more CO2 throughout the year compared to a temporary crop. 384.94 tonnes of CO2 equivalent will be captured over 20 years*.
This project will relocate hazelnut production in France because this product is currently largely imported from abroad. A majority of the farm's hazelnut sales are made locally.
The soil will also be able to sequester more CO2 because it will no longer be worked each year. In addition, this new plantation will require little fertilizer and treatment compared to previous crops, mechanical weeding is planned.
The water resource will be preserved because the orchards will not be irrigated and will be 100% grassed, which among other things allows for better retention of rainwater.
* The final value of the estimate will only be established after verification by an independent auditor and an administrative verification decision.
