2. Description de la Technologie de GDT
2.1 Courte description de la Technologie
Définition de la Technologie:
This organic agriculture technology combines reduced tillage with organic farming practices to enhance soil health, increase carbon sequestration, and maintain sustainable agricultural productivity.
2.2 Description détaillée de la Technologie
Description:
This example of organic agriculture is applied primarily in the central Poltava region of Ukraine, which is characterized by undulating plains within the Poltava Plateau. The region’s fertile chernozem soils provide an ideal environment for sustainable farming practices. These soils are predominantly deep, medium-humus, medium-loam chernozems, known for their agronomically favourable physical and chemical properties, including high organic carbon content (around 3% in the upper layer) and excellent water retention capacity. The natural fertility of these soils, combined with their relatively high nitrogen and exchangeable potassium content, underpins their suitability for organic farming.
Organic agriculture in this context combines two land management technologies (LMTs): reduced tillage and organic farming. Reduced tillage minimizes soil disturbance, which preserves soil structure and reduces erosion, while organic farming eliminates synthetic inputs and relies on crop rotations, organic fertilizers, and biological pest control to maintain soil health and ecosystem balance. The purpose of these practices is to enhance soil carbon sequestration, mitigate climate change impacts, and support sustainable agricultural productivity.
Farming is certified as a producer of organic plant products in accordance with the standards equivalent to Council Resolutions (EU) 834/2007 and 889/2008.
Under this system, shallow tillage is carried out to a depth of 4–6 cm, which helps preserve the natural structure and capillarity of the soil. It employs Horsch cultivators of the "Agrosoyuz," "Scorpion," and "Quant" models. The enterprise also extensively uses disc harrows from the French manufacturer Grégoire Besson, such as the DXRV and DXRV-HD models, which are employed for green manure incorporation. These tools operate at a precisely determined depth, regardless of the micro-relief of the field. Thus, PE "Agroecology" does not use ploughs for inversion tillage but instead prioritizes shallow tillage with cultivators and disc harrows.
The main crops grown include winter wheat, soy, corn, sunflower, and perennial herbs such as sainfoin. The combination of these crops supports soil fertility and biodiversity while maintaining agricultural productivity. Land Mitigation Technology (LMT) refers to practices and technologies designed to reduce or offset the environmental impact of land use activities. It includes strategies for restoring degraded ecosystems, preventing soil erosion, conserving biodiversity, and managing resources sustainably. LMT is often applied in agriculture, construction, and land development to balance development needs with environmental protection.
Key activities to establish and maintain the technology include transitioning from conventional to organic farming practices, adapting tillage methods to reduced-intensity operations, and maintaining organic soil fertility through natural inputs. These activities require significant initial effort and investment, including soil testing for nutrient content and organic carbon stocks, stakeholder engagement for field planning, and long-term monitoring of soil health indicators. The establishment process also involves collaboration with scientific institutions, such as ISSAR and Bioclear Earth, to ensure effective implementation and validation of the technology.
The primary benefits of this technology include improved soil structure, increased biodiversity, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and enhanced carbon sequestration. The technology has demonstrated the potential to sequester up to 0.4 t C ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹, with minimal yield trade-offs. Additionally, the resilience of the chernozem soils supports similar crop yields in both organic and conventional systems, thanks to their natural fertility and lower input rates in conventional agriculture. Farmers particularly value the long-term sustainability and ecological benefits of organic farming.
Land users face challenges with this technology. Transitioning to organic farming can result in temporary yield reductions, requiring adaptation in farm management practices. Furthermore, reduced tillage demands specific equipment and techniques, which may present a financial barrier for some farmers. The implementation of organic farming also requires significant effort in pest and weed management due to the absence of chemical inputs.
Overall, this form of organic agriculture represents a promising approach to sustainable farming in Ukraine, particularly in the fertile Chernozem region. Its ability to enhance carbon sequestration while maintaining comparable yields to conventional systems highlights its potential to contribute to climate mitigation and soil restoration goals. Further research and field validation are needed to refine the understanding of its impacts and optimize its implementation.

| Initial high costs: The transition to organic agriculture and reduced tillage involves significant upfront investment in equipment, labor, and materials. | Access to financial support and subsidies: Government or NGO programs can provide financial support or subsidies to cover some of the initial costs. |
| Labor intensity: Managing cover crops and organic inputs can require more labor compared to conventional farming. | Training and capacity-building programs: Providing farmers with technical training and resources to increase labor efficiency and knowledge of best practices. |
| Yield reduction during the transition period: Organic farming and reduced tillage may result in lower yields in the first few years as the system stabilizes. | Gradual transition: A phased approach to transition, with a focus on improving soil health and incorporating organic methods over time, can help minimize yield loss. |
| Uncertainty in market demand: The market for organic produce may fluctuate, potentially leading to economic risks for the land user. | Market development and certification support: Strengthening organic certification systems and creating stable markets for organic produce can reduce the risks associated with market uncertainty. |
