Project presentation
This agricultural project on 203.2 hectares in the municipality of THOUARSAIS-BOUILDROUX implements responsible practices designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon storage in soils, contributing to sequester 260 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.

Qualité des fourrages
Moyen — amélioration de la digestibilité réduisant le méthane entérique de 5 à 15 %Améliorer la qualité des fourrages (meilleure valeur énergétique UFL, plus de protéines MAT) permet de réduire la quantité de concentrés achetés et de mieux valoriser les ressources de la ferme. Un fourrage récolté au bon stade nourrit mieux et réduit le gaspillage.
Did you know?
Le saviez-vous ? Un foin récolté au bon stade (début épiaison) contient 30 % d'énergie en plus qu'un foin récolté trop tard. Cette différence se traduit directement en moins de méthane émis par la vache.
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 1.3 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 203.2 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 203.2 ha in THOUARSAIS-BOUILDROUX 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 203.2 ha of sustainable farming practices in THOUARSAIS-BOUILDROUX, 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 203.2 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 260 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 203.2 ha.
