What is HVE*
The term HVE stands for Haute Valeur Environnementale (High Environmental Value).
This certification, which is regulated by French authorities, applies to farms and can be granted if the whole farm meets strict specifications:
– Integrating and developing biodiversity in farm management.
– Designing agricultural production systems to reduce pressure on the environment and reduce inputs.
With the HVE* certification, farms are able to show their commitment to practices that are more respectful of the environment and biodiversity.
