Evidence snapshot for Rennes
Terres de Sources shows that Rennes' drinking-water authority uses public procurement to incentivize farms in its catchments to adopt water-protective practices, offering participating farmers better prices and annual bonuses of €1,000–3,000 over six years, with backing of €20 million from France's innovation programme. As of 2024, 88 farms across 62 communes were engaged against a target of 750 farms by 2028, with 10-year goals of reducing nitrates by 50% and pesticides by 75%. However, no measured water-quality results have been reported, and environmental groups have criticized the scheme for covering only a fraction of the watershed and relying on voluntary rather than mandatory measures.
