Project presentation
This agricultural project on 244 hectares in the municipality of SAINT-HILAIRE-DES-LOGES implements responsible practices designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon storage in soils, contributing to sequester 938 tons of CO₂ over its lifetime. Certified by the CARBON AGRI method of the Low-Carbon Label, it promotes more resilient and sustainable agricultural ecosystems.

Amélioration génétique
Moyen — amélioration progressive sur 10-20 ans de l'efficacité carbone du troupeauLa sélection génétique permet de choisir des reproducteurs dont la descendance émettra moins de méthane, produira plus efficacement et vivra plus longtemps. Les index génétiques intègrent désormais l'empreinte environnementale.
Did you know?
Le saviez-vous ? Certaines lignées de vaches émettent naturellement 20 % moins de méthane que d'autres, à production égale. Des programmes de sélection intègrent désormais ce critère « méthane ».

Valorisation du pâturage
Moyen — réduction des consommations d'énergie + stockage carbone dans les prairiesAugmenter la durée et la qualité du pâturage permet aux vaches de se nourrir directement de l'herbe plutôt que de fourrages récoltés et de concentrés. Le pâturage bien conduit maintient les prairies en bon état et réduit les coûts d'alimentation.
Did you know?
Le saviez-vous ? Une vache au pâturage consomme zéro litre de carburant pour son alimentation — pas de récolte, pas de transport, pas de distribution. Le pâturage est le mode d'alimentation le plus sobre en énergie.

Autonomie protéique
Fort — la substitution du soja importé est l'un des leviers les plus puissants en élevageL'autonomie protéique consiste à produire sur la ferme les protéines nécessaires à l'alimentation du troupeau, plutôt que d'acheter du tourteau de soja importé. Cela passe par la culture de colza, féverole, luzerne ou pois, et par l'optimisation des fourrages.
Did you know?
Le saviez-vous ? Pour produire 1 kg de tourteau de soja importé du Brésil, il faut déforester 3 m² de savane du Cerrado. Remplacer ce soja par de la féverole locale supprime cette empreinte.
Environmental & social impacts
Beyond carbon sequestration, each project generates measurable positive impacts on the environment and local communities. Here is the detailed assessment of this project.
🌍Climate
73%
This project sequesters 3.8 tCO₂/ha over its lifetime. Carbon is captured in biomass (trunks, branches, roots) and soils. This is the project's primary impact: contributing to climate change mitigation by removing CO₂ from the atmosphere.
Biodiversity
Significant impact65%
This project creates a rich habitat for wildlife. The ecological corridors formed allow species to circulate, promoting pollination and natural biological pest control.
Water
Significant impact79%
Over 244 ha, the vegetation cover acts as a natural filter. Roots promote water infiltration into soils, reduce runoff and erosion, and enable groundwater recharge. Downstream water quality is directly improved.
Soils
Significant impact91%
The root system structures the soil in depth. Litter (dead leaves, twigs) enriches organic matter, feeds soil microorganisms and increases water retention capacity. A living, fertile soil is the foundation of a resilient ecosystem.
Socio-economic
Moderate impact84%
This project of 244 ha in SAINT-HILAIRE-DES-LOGES supports the local economy: direct jobs (planting, maintenance, monitoring), enhancement of the territory and natural heritage. It strengthens the link between rural communities and their environment, contributing to the ecological transition.
Sustainable Development Goals
The 17 SDGs are a global framework defined by the United Nations to build a sustainable future by 2030. This project directly contributes to 4 of them. Here's why.
2
Zero Hunger
End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition
Why this project: With 244 ha of sustainable farming practices in SAINT-HILAIRE-DES-LOGES, this project improves long-term soil productivity, secures food yields and strengthens farm resilience against climate risks — directly contributing to local food security.
12
Responsible Consumption and Production
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Why this project: This project transforms farming practices on 244 ha towards more responsible production: reduced chemical inputs, soil cover, crop diversification.
13
Climate Action
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Why this project: This is the primary impact: this project sequesters 938 tons of CO2 over its lifetime, certified by the Low-Carbon Label. Every ton removed from the atmosphere directly contributes to fighting climate change.
15
Life on Land
Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems
Why this project: By reintroducing soil-friendly practices (cover crops, hedges, reduced tillage), this project restores terrestrial life on 244 ha.
