Project presentation
This agricultural project on 176.8 hectares in the municipality of ESSARTS EN BOCAGE implements responsible practices designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon storage in soils, contributing to sequester 453 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.

Introduction de légumineuses
Fort — une légumineuse peut remplacer 50 à 200 kg d'engrais azoté/ha, évitant la fabrication et l'épandage de ces engraisLes légumineuses (trèfle, luzerne, féverole, pois) ont une capacité unique : elles captent l'azote de l'air grâce à des bactéries symbiotiques dans leurs racines (nodosités). Elles n'ont donc pas besoin d'engrais azotés et en laissent dans le sol pour la culture suivante.
Did you know?
Le saviez-vous ? Les légumineuses fixent jusqu'à 300 kg d'azote par hectare et par an, gratuitement, grâce à des bactéries symbiotiques dans leurs racines. C'est l'équivalent de 800 € d'engrais offerts par la nature.

Réduction de la mortalité des jeunes
Moyen — chaque veau sauvé améliore le bilan carbone global du troupeauRéduire la mortalité des veaux et des jeunes bovins est un levier d'efficacité majeur. Chaque animal mort représente des émissions de GES « pour rien » — la mère a consommé des ressources pour une gestation et un allaitement sans production finale.
Did you know?
Le saviez-vous ? En France, 8 % des veaux meurent avant le sevrage. Réduire ce taux de moitié, c'est l'équivalent de 15 000 tonnes de CO₂ évitées par an à l'échelle nationale.
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 2.6 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 176.8 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 176.8 ha in ESSARTS EN BOCAGE 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 176.8 ha of sustainable farming practices in ESSARTS EN BOCAGE, 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 176.8 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 453 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 176.8 ha.
