Les Vergers de Sennevieres, independent farm and farm shop in Chevreville (northern France): this 80-hectare farm, which has been awarded the 3rd “Haute Valeur Environnementale” label (High Environmental Value) and the “100% Vergers ecoresponsables” label (100% Eco-Friendly Orchard), produces between 3,000 and 4,000 tonnes of conventional and organic apples and pears each year (Gala, Golden, Jonagold, Elstar and many other varieties) to promote biodiversity. Here, owner Alexandre Prot uses alternatives to chemical products, in particular the Ginko® solution, a biotechnological approach to insect pest management, and has developed a sap flow sensor to estimate total tree water uses and thus avoid wasting the resource.
