German farmers are transforming peatlands into carbon-capturing marshes. A series of new initiatives in Germany are not only 'rewetting' peatlands but also creating markets for the native grasses, reeds, and sedges they support. Following a successful pilot project on a ten hectare site, they've teamed up with German retailer Otto Group, to promote a form of marsh farming called “paludiculture.” Yale360 https://buff.ly/41oPUyK
