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 cooperative grouping 350 kiwifruit producers in the south-west of France. 1st French kiwifruit producer.
Read moreNew plantation of 1.2 ha of kiwis in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques
Mr. Lesquibe's farm plans to plant 1.2 hectares of kiwifruit in Spring 2023. 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 store 49.79 tons of CO2 equivalent in 20 years*.
The soil will also be able to sequester more CO2 because it will no longer be worked every year. In addition, this new plantation will require less fertilizer and treatments compared to previous crops. This new cultivation itinerary will contribute to avoid emissions and makes the project even more virtuous.
The project responds to social-economic issues: Kiwi production is still low in France, increasing it means reducing our imports. This plantation will also allow the farmer to diversify his income.
A project favorable to biodiversity: the establishment of new permanent crops on the farm will provide a stable habitat for various species that were not necessarily present.
The farmer wants to limit soil disturbance: Depending on the method of operation, the soil is at risk of direct or indirect disturbance with the passage of heavy machinery, the partial destruction of vegetation or grass cover that can impact both fauna and flora. In an effort to limit these risks, the operation is committed to a low frequency of deep soil work interventions.
The water resource will be protected: In order to limit soil erosion, leaching and therefore the over-consumption of fertilizers, 50% of the orchard will benefit from a permanent grass cover. This action will also be very beneficial for the local biodiversity and will limit the overconsumption of water. Precision irrigation equipment will also be used to limit the amount of water needed by the crops.
* The final value of the estimate will only be established after verification by an independent auditor and an administrative verification decision.
