Cereal farm (Occitanie, France)
Campagne D'Armagnac, Occitanie🇫🇷·France
Farm in Campagne D'Armagnac, Occitanie (France) cultivating maize and vineyards across 84.3 hectares, on a soil regeneration pathway since 2022.
This farm includes multiple certification procedures. A procedure is a subset of farm parcels enrolled in a specific certification cohort. Within the same farm, different parcels can be enrolled in different procedures and under different standards (Gold Standard, ISO 14064-2).
The farm
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. To date, 1,806 tCO₂e have been measured during the first years of the programme, and a further 686 tCO₂e are estimated for the upcoming vintages, for a total credit volume of 2,492 tCO₂e.

MRV | How credits are measured
Every tonne of CO₂e issued is measured, reported, and verified under the certification standard's protocol.
SOC 402.3 + ISO 14064-2
DNV
Annual monitoring · VVB verification under Gold Standard rules
Regrow (satellite dMRV) + field sampling
Soil sampling at the start and end of the crediting period, following Annex 3 of the FAO 2020 SOC MRV protocol authorised under GS SOC 402.3, complemented by Sentinel-2/Landsat satellite monitoring (dMRV via Regrow) and verification by an accredited third-party (VVB) under Gold Standard rules.
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.
