Cereal farm (Wallonia, Belgium)
Aardenburg, Wallonia🇧🇪·Belgium
Farm in Aardenburg, Belgium cultivating cereals (wheat) and flax across 197.3 hectares, on a soil regeneration pathway since 2022.
The farm
This is a 197.3-hectare farm in Aardenburg, Belgium, cultivating cereals (wheat) and flax. Enrolled in the Gaïago programme since 2022, the farm has registered its land under 3 separate procedures certified under ISO 14064-2. Nutrigeo biostimulant deployment aims to restore soil biological activity (bacteria, fungi, soil fauna) to recover lasting natural fertility. Initial 3-year field results show a sequestration rate of 1.5 tCO₂eq/ha/yr on the measured plots. Identified performance driver: optimisation de la fertilisation et des phytos. The total estimated credit volume over 5 years is 2,960 tCO₂e.

MRV | How credits are measured
Every tonne of CO₂e issued is measured, reported, and verified under the certification standard's protocol.

Co-benefits & Sustainable Development Goals
Beyond carbon sequestration, regenerative practices generate measurable benefits for soil, biodiversity, water, and rural livelihoods.
Livelier, better-structured soil richer in organic matter : the engine of long-term sequestration
SDG 13 · Climate ActionImproved water infiltration and retention in soils through regenerative practices
SDG 13 · Climate ActionNutrient-richer soils, more microorganisms and earthworms : yields secured or even improved
SDG 2 · Zero HungerGaïago support to de-risk the transition: initial diagnostic, annual monitoring, peer-to-peer practice sharing
SDG 4 · Quality EducationProcedures breakdown
This farm has enrolled its plots in several certification tracks.
