NutrigeoCover cropsCrop residues leftOrganic inputs (Compost, Slurry)

This is a 72.1-hectare farm in Achiet-Le-Petit, Hauts-de-France (France), cultivating cereals (wheat) and rapeseed. Enrolled in the Gaïago programme since 2023, 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 1,081 tCO₂e.

MRV | How credits are measured

Every tonne of CO₂e issued is measured, reported, and verified under the certification standard's protocol.

Methodology

SOC 402.3

MRV frequency

Annual monitoring · VVB verification under Gold Standard rules

Monitoring tool

Regrow (satellite dMRV) + field sampling

Process

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.

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
