First programme in our curated developer portfolio. Gaiago is among the pioneers of regenerative agriculture in France, with 12+ years of expertise and one of the world's largest Gold Standard certified soil carbon credit programmes.
Gaïago
🇫🇷Pioneer of regenerative agriculture in France
France · Founded 2014
Gaïago is a French company founded in 2014, specialising in soil-fertility solutions and regenerative agriculture. Its carbon programme mobilises cohorts of French farmers around a Gold Standard SOC 402.3 methodology, with satellite monitoring via Regrow. The company supports each partner farm from initial enrolment through to annual verification.
Why Gaïago leads
Direct soil carbon measurement
Field sampling per FAO 2020 protocol, verified by accredited Gold Standard third party
+3 tCO₂e/ha/yr removal
Average performance measured across 5,000 ha, top of the European range for soil carbon
A viable transition for the farmer
Carbon revenues of about €100/ha/yr measured on cohort 1, covering the bulk of transition costs. Combined with higher agricultural yields, the bottom line is a net win for the farmer.
"Outstanding agronomic performance: over 3 tCO₂e captured per hectare per year, with proven environmental and social co-benefits. An industry-leading certification standard and a rigorous protocol combining on-site measurement with dMRV via Regrow."

Nature-based credit specialists
We operate at the intersection of voluntary carbon markets, certification standards, and project development. We know what separates a high-integrity credit from a reputational risk, and we apply that lens to every project we consider.
Uncompromising project selection
We only work with projects that meet the market's recognised certification standards, Gold Standard, Verra VCS, ISO 14064-2, with a preference for methodologies aligned with the ICVCM Core Carbon Principles, and that deliver meaningful co-benefits: biodiversity, soil health, water, and farmer livelihoods.
A partner across your entire climate journey
Carbon contribution is not a one-off purchase, it is a multi-year strategy aligned with your climate trajectory. We help you structure, document, and evolve your contribution over time, from first credit to long-term offtake, in step with your commitments.
