This is a 53.7-hectare farm in Treis-Sants-En-Ouche, Normandy (France), cultivating cereals (wheat, barley) and rapeseed, flax. The farm joined the Gaïago carbon programme in 2023 and is 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 805 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
