Emmanuelle Ducros writes about the setbacks of an agricultural association to have its virtuous practices for the environment certified by the administration. She recounts her nightmare in an open letter.
The association is called Apad, it is 20 years old and brings together 215 farms. In 2020, the association wanted to benefit from the low carbon label from the Ministry of Ecological Transition. But the rules have changed. According to the administration, the label is now intended not to reward those who already store carbon but those who want to.
