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.

Association of actors of the chestnut sector in the South-West of France, gathering more than 1800 ha of orchards.
Read moreConversion of 2 hectares of annual crops into organic orchards
Yves Brugeaud's sequestration project consists of the planting of 2 ha of chestnut trees certified Organic Agriculture. The plots chosen were previously cultivated with annual crops. The planting of permanent trees will enable more CO2 to be sequestered throughout the year compared to a temporary crop, in all 117.73 tonnes of CO2eq in 20 years*.
Organic Agriculture certification will impose the use of natural inputs only on chestnut trees.
The soil will also be able to sequester more CO2 because it will no longer be worked each year and will be completely grassed at all times. In addition, this new plantation will require less fertilizer and treatments compared to previous crops. This new cultural itinerary will contribute to avoiding emissions and makes the project even more virtuous.
Finally, some of the organic chestnuts will be sold locally in the region, and this activity contributes to reducing French imports of chestnuts.
* The final value of the estimate will only be established after verification by an independent auditor and an administrative verification decision.
