Palus Demos is a €10m Horizon Europe agricultural innovation project that brings together expertise from across Europe to develop paludiculture - peatlands and wetlands farming.
Paludiculture can deliver profitable crops for farmers while eliminating carbon emissions, improving water quality and supporting biodiversity.
Three demonstrator sites have been established in Ireland, the UK and The Netherlands. These will be used to test commercial growing of:
- sphagnum moss; a valuable alternation to peat for the horticultural sector;
- typha, a sustainable and circular material for construction;
- and a range of food crops including blueberries and cranberries.
Palus Demos researchers will work with industry to develop markets for paludiculture products, while policy experts will work with European legislators to streamline regulation. AI researchers will collect data from across the sites to create resources for landowners who want to rewet drained peatland and develop lucrative wetland crops.
Palus Demos is building information and resources on the many commercial opportunities in paludiculture, for farmers, researchers, industry and policymakers. Sign up to our emails today to stay informed: https://palusdemos.org/sign-up-for-emails/
