Question:

What is paludiculture? How does it contribute to climate change medigation?

Author: Asger LIndberg-Nielsen


Too long for audio

Answer:

Paludiculture - is allowing farmers to grow crops on drained peatlands which can grow in flooded conditions. I think its mostly on fens. Then they are corbon sinks and farmers can make money. Then you can grow reeds. Too wet for potatoes and maize. You then get peat. And grow fracmitis and stuff like that. For fracmeitis about 80-90% end in the soil . Contributes to climate change medigation in two ways: - reducing GHG emissions from drained peat soils by reflooding - by replacing fossil resources by renewble biomass alternatives
