Paludiculture in Latvia—Existing Knowledge and Challenges
Land, 2023 Global climate change impact has increased in recent decades and put urgency on implementing effective climate change mitigation (CCM) activities. Rewetting of drained peatlands is an acknowledged measure to reduce GHG emissions from organic soils in the

Paludiculture can support biodiversity conservation in rewetted fen peatlands [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Paludiculture, the productive use of wet or rewetted peatlands, offers an option for continued land use by farmers after rewetting formerly drained peatlands, while reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from peat soils.

Progress of paludiculture projects in supporting peatland ecosystem restoration in Indonesia
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Sustainable peatland management practices such as paludiculture are crucial for restoring degraded peatland ecosystems. Paludiculture involves wet cultivation practices in peatland and can maintain peat bodies and sustaining ecosystem services.

Paludiculture as paludifuture on Dutch peatlands: An environmental and economic analysis of Typha cultivation and insulation production [PDF]
Science of the Total Environment, 2021 Paludiculture, the cultivation of crops on rewetted peatlands, is often proposed as a viable climate change mitigation option that reduces greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe), while simultaneously providing novel agricultural business options. In West Europe, experiments are ongoing in using the paludicrop cattail (Typha spp.) as feedstock for insulation ...

Paludiculture in the UK: A Paradigm Shift in Agricultural Practice and Farmers’ Perceptions
Mires and PeatShifting from drainage-based agriculture to paludiculture - that is, farming on rewetted peatlands - is one of the biggest opportunities for carbon farming and achieving net zero.

LandVoluntary carbon markets open horizons for private companies, public institutions, and individuals developing CO2 removal projects in peatlands to reduce overall carbon footprint. These steps, however, should be in line with appropriate rewetting targets.

Paludiculture maintains peat formation potential in rewetted temperate fens
Agronomy for Sustainable DevelopmentDrainage for agriculture has transformed temperate fen peatlands from carbon sinks into major carbon sources. Rewetting can halt this degradation, and the productive use of rewetted peatlands through paludiculture offers a promising sustainable land use strategy. However, historical drainage increases nutrient availability, which often remains elevated
