The farm

Cover cropsCrop residues left

This is a 84.3-hectare farm in Campagne D'Armagnac, Occitanie (France), cultivating maize and vineyards. The farm joined the Gaïago programme in 2022 and has progressively enrolled its land under 2 separate procedures, certified under both Gold Standard and 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 9.4 tCO₂eq/ha/yr on the measured plots. Identified performance driver: implantation de couverts végétaux, broyage des sarments, vigne souvent bon résultats car culture propice aux champignons. The total estimated credit volume over 5 years is 1,265 tCO₂e.

Co-benefits & Sustainable Development Goals

Beyond carbon sequestration, regenerative practices generate measurable benefits for soil, biodiversity, water, and rural livelihoods.

Carbon sequestration

Livelier, better-structured soil richer in organic matter : the engine of long-term sequestration

SDG 13 · Climate Action
Water management

Improved water infiltration and retention in soils through regenerative practices

SDG 13 · Climate Action
Nourishing soils & yields

Nutrient-richer soils, more microorganisms and earthworms : yields secured or even improved

SDG 2 · Zero Hunger
Agroecological transition

Gaïago support to de-risk the transition: initial diagnostic, annual monitoring, peer-to-peer practice sharing

SDG 4 · Quality Education
