Paludiculture

Paludiculture is a sustainable way of farming on wet or marshy land, such as peatlands, without damaging the environment. Instead of draining these areas, which releases stored carbon and harms ecosystems, paludiculture involves cultivating crops like reeds, sedges, or mosses that thrive in wet conditions. It combines land use with conservation, helping to preserve biodiversity, protect water quality, and reduce greenhouse gases. This approach supports eco-friendly economic activities while maintaining the natural functions of wetlands, making it a valuable strategy for climate change mitigation and sustainable land management.
