USE CASE #3
Certified data to secure farms’ environmental sustainability
- Countries: FR, BE, PL, RO
- Lead Partner: CDAF
- Other Partners: EV ILVO, FNSEA, INRAE, PSNC, ANAMOB
This Use Case enables farms to exchange verifiable data through CEADS to meet EU sustainability certification schemes (e.g., 2BSvs, RedCert, ISCC). It focuses on biomass for biofuel production and the verification of sustainability indicators.
Objectives
Demonstrate eligibility for sustainable biomass through indicators like ESCA (soil carbon) and EEC (GHG from raw material extraction).
Facilitate certification workflows between farmers, cooperatives, and processing industries.
Preserve permanent grasslands and ensure compliance with CAP eco-conditions.
Technology in Action
Cross-border data exchange integrating CAP declarations, soil analyses, and HVDs.
Interoperability links with machinery data (UC5) and other domains.
Impacts
Economic
Reduces admin burdens for certification, enables premiums for sustainable crops.
Technological
Automates sustainability indicator calculation.
Environmental
Proves lower GHG footprint and supports biofuel sustainability.
Societal
Raises awareness and acceptance of sustainable practices across communities.
