Project presentation
This agricultural project on 135.5 hectares in the municipality of MONTREVAULT-SUR-EVRE implements responsible practices designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon storage in soils, contributing to sequester 658 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.

Gestion du renouvellement
Moyen — réduction directe du cheptel improductif et de ses émissionsOptimiser la gestion du renouvellement du troupeau — réduire le nombre de génisses élevées, réformer les vaches improductives, augmenter la longévité — permet de produire autant avec moins d'animaux, réduisant les émissions de méthane du troupeau.
Did you know?
Le saviez-vous ? Élever une génisse de remplacement pendant 2 ans coûte 2 000 à 3 500 € et émet 5 tonnes de CO₂eq, avant même qu'elle ait produit son premier litre de lait.

Réduction de la consommation énergétique
Moyen — l'énergie représente 10 à 20 % des émissions d'une exploitation agricoleRéduire la consommation de carburant et d'électricité de l'exploitation passe par l'optimisation des passages d'engins, le choix de tracteurs efficients, l'isolation des bâtiments et le recours aux énergies renouvelables.
Did you know?
Le saviez-vous ? Le poste carburant représente 15 à 25 % de l'empreinte carbone d'une exploitation céréalière. Passer au semis direct réduit la consommation de gazole de 60 %.

Méthanisation
Très fort — peut réduire de 50 à 80 % les émissions liées au stockage des déjectionsLa méthanisation transforme les déjections animales et les déchets végétaux en biogaz (méthane utilisable comme énergie) et en digestat (fertilisant naturel). Elle capte le méthane qui serait émis dans l'atmosphère et le valorise en énergie renouvelable.
Did you know?
Le saviez-vous ? Une exploitation de 100 vaches produit assez de biogaz pour chauffer 50 maisons. Le fumier devient une énergie renouvelable au lieu d'émettre du méthane dans l'atmosphère.
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 4.9 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 135.5 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 135.5 ha in MONTREVAULT-SUR-EVRE 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 135.5 ha of sustainable farming practices in MONTREVAULT-SUR-EVRE, 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 135.5 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 658 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 135.5 ha.
