Project presentation
This farming project on 306 hectares in the municipality of Les Charmontois follows the SOBAC method: the farm reduces its use of mineral nitrogen fertilisers, whose manufacture and spreading emit greenhouse gases, including nitrous oxide. Labelled under the Label Bas-Carbone, it targets 857 tonnes of CO₂e of expected emission reductions over its duration: they will be recognised after verification.
Agricultural levers — method SOBAC (2)
Possible practices under this method to reduce mineral nitrogen fertilisers and the related emissions.
Optimisation de la fertilisation
Climate impact : FortL'optimisation de la fertilisation consiste à ajuster précisément les apports d'engrais (azote, phosphore, potassium) aux besoins réels des cultures. L'objectif est de réduire les excédents qui se transforment en protoxyde d'azote (N₂O), un gaz à effet de serre 265 fois plus puissant que le CO₂.
Micro-organismes du sol (SOBAC)
Climate impact : MoyenLa méthode SOBAC utilise des amendements à base de micro-organismes naturels (bactéries, champignons) pour améliorer les propriétés physiques et biologiques des sols. Ces micro-organismes accélèrent la décomposition de la matière organique et la formation d'humus stable.
Environmental & social impacts
Beyond its climate effect, each project acts on the environment and the local area. Here is the assessment of this project, dimension by dimension.
Climate
77%
This project targets 857 tonnes of CO₂e of expected emission reductions over its duration: they will be recognised after verification. The SOBAC method calculates them from the reduction in mineral nitrogen fertiliser compared with the reference fertilisation: less fertiliser manufactured and spread means less nitrous oxide (N₂O) and CO₂ emitted.
Biodiversity
Moderate impact65%
Less mineral nitrogen limits the nutrient enrichment of nearby habitats, which harms their wildlife and plants.
Water
Significant impact78%
Less mineral nitrogen means less risk of nitrate leaching into groundwater and rivers.
Soils
High impact85%
This project's tonnes come from reducing mineral nitrogen fertilisers; soil carbon storage is not counted in them.
Socio-economic
High impact82%
This project of 306 ha in Les Charmontois supports a farm in reducing its mineral nitrogen fertilisers, which may also lower its purchases.
Sustainable Development Goals
The 17 SDGs are a global framework defined by the United Nations to build a sustainable future by 2030. This project directly contributes to 4 of them. Here's why.
2
Zero Hunger
End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition
Why this project: This project supports a farm in Les Charmontois that keeps producing: it contributes to food production with lower greenhouse gas emissions.
6
Clean Water and Sanitation
Ensure availability and sustainable management of water
Why this project: By reducing mineral nitrogen inputs, this project protects the quality of groundwater and rivers.
12
Responsible Consumption and Production
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Why this project: This project reduces the use of mineral nitrogen fertilisers on 306 ha, whose manufacture and spreading emit greenhouse gases.
13
Climate Action
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Why this project: This is the primary impact: this project targets 857 tonnes of CO₂e of expected emission reductions under the Label Bas-Carbone framework: they will be recognised after verification. Every ton avoided helps limit climate change.
