Paludiculture in the UK: A Paradigm Shift in Agricultural Practice and Farmers’ Perceptions
Shifting 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.

Voluntary 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.

Species-dependent methane emissions in a Dutch peatland during paludiculture establishment [PDF]
Paludiculture (crop cultivation on wet peatlands) is an effective means to reduce carbon emissions and nutrient losses from formerly drained peatlands. However, methane (CH4) emissions and associated pathways may vary substantially between paludicultures,

Paludiculture maintains peat formation potential in rewetted temperate fens
Drainage 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

Ratio vegetation indices have the potential to predict extractable protein yields in green protein paludiculture [PDF]
Paludiculture can be a tool to incentivise rewetting of agricultural peatlands with the option for biomass utilisation in green protein biorefineries. However, the economic feasibility for green protein paludiculture depends on product maximisation. This

Paludiculture: Peatland utilization for food security
Abstract Degraded tropical peatland in Indonesia has been restored since 2016 through 3R efforts including rewetting, revegetation, and revitalization of local livelihood. Many studies concluded that the involvement of the local community is the key to the success of peatland restoration.

Digital transformation of peatland eco-innovations (‘Paludiculture’): Enabling a paradigm shift towards the real-time sustainable production of ‘green-friendly’ products and services [PDF]
The world is heading in the wrong direction on carbon emissions where we are not on track to limit global warming to 1.5 °C; Ireland is among the countries where overall emissions have continued to rise.

Towards more sustainable hydrological management and land use of drained coastal peatlands - A biogeochemical balancing act [PDF]
Worldwide, drainage-based water management is applied to facilitate agricultural use of coastal peatland areas, leading to large-scale peat oxidation and land subsidence.

Towards Large-Scale Paludiculture: Addressing the Challenges of Biomass Harvesting in Wet and Rewetted Peatlands [PDF]
Peatland drainage causes peat degradation, which results in high greenhouse gas emissions and ongoing subsidence of the ground surface. To avoid further land degradation, the rewetting of peatlands is essential. The new land use concept of paludiculture -
