The “Low Carbon” label, an opportunity or a new value creating label?

Presented by Florence Rabut, Journalist at Végétable

The “low carbon” label has been operational for three years. It offers certification to projects that sequester or avoid carbon emissions. The prerequisite for the certification of a project is to use a calculation method approved by the Ministry.

What are the methods that already exist or are under development for the fruit and vegetable sector? Who can finance these projects and what are the available types of finance? How many projects have already been labelled in the farming sector, and for what result(s)? Is this a simple opportunity or a genuine development lever to profoundly transform farming practices, increase value along all the links in the chain, and more widely reach other territorial players?
