LBC-GRANDES-CULTURES — Grandes Cultures

About this methodology

Arable farms in France change practices in nitrogen fertilisation, on-farm energy use and soil carbon storage. Results are measured against the farm's own records from before the project or, where those are missing, regional averages.

How our current method reads projects of this type

Versions of the official text these rules cover: Arrêté du 5 septembre 2025 (référentiel du Label bas carbone), LBC-GrandesCultures v1.1 (23 July 2021; v2.0 2025 exists)

What CarbonMeld reads

  • Integrity shown

    Additionality: the project must show it with a test (Arrêté du 5 septembre 2025 art. 2, p. 2). CarbonMeld reads the test in the documents.CM-F-LBC-GRANDES-CULTURES-ADDITIONALITY

  • shown

    Leakage: the methodology sets rules for it (Arrêté du 5 septembre 2025 art. 9, p. 6). CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents.CM-F-LBC-GRANDES-CULTURES-LEAKAGE

  • shown

    Permanence and reversals: the methodology sets rules for it in some cases (Grandes Cultures v1.1 §6.4.4, p. 63). CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents.CM-F-LBC-GRANDES-CULTURES-PERMANENCE-REVERSAL
