Project presentation
This agricultural project on 146 hectares in the municipality of Rocheservière implements responsible practices designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon storage in soils, contributing to sequester 798 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.

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.

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.
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 5.5 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 146 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 146 ha in Rocheservière 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 146 ha of sustainable farming practices in Rocheservière, 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 146 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 798 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 146 ha.
