The policy case for paludiculture and peatland restoration

The policy case for paludiculture and peatland restoration Dr Doug McMillan from Green Restoration Ireland Co-operative Society Ltd discusses the case for paludiculture and peatland restoration, emphasising its productivity, climate-positive benefits, and rich biodiversity. Across Europe, the Americas and beyond, degraded peatlands are among the largest and most overlooked sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Green Restoration Ireland’s pioneering Peatlands for Prosperity project – and the science behind it – shows policy- makers exactly the farmer-ready tools and blueprint needed to turn this liability into a transformational opportunity.
