Agricultural farm (Centre-Val de Loire, France)
Marseilles-Lès-Aubigny, Centre-Val de Loire🇫🇷·France
125.4-hectare farm in Marseilles-Lès-Aubigny, Centre-Val de Loire (France), specialising in arable cereals, rapeseed, sunflower, legumes and maize, enrolled in the Gaïago carbon programme 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 125.4-hectare farm in Marseilles-Lès-Aubigny, Centre-Val de Loire (France), cultivating arable cereals, rapeseed, sunflower, legumes and maize. Enrolled in the Gaïago programme since 2022, the farm has registered its land under 2 separate procedures certified under Gold Standard. Nutrigeo biostimulant deployment aims to restore soil biological activity (bacteria, fungi, soil fauna) to recover lasting natural fertility. The total estimated credit volume over 5 years is 1,881 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
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.
