We are growing bulrushes on areas of re-wetted lowland agricultural peat, to investigate how we can reduce harmful carbon emissions from drained peatlands, whilst also keeping the land financially…

What is wetter farming? How do you do it? Why would you do it? What can you grow? What else do you need to think about?

Wetter farming, also known as paludiculture, is the practice of farming land that had previously been drained but now has a restored naturally higher water table. But what do farmers think about…

As part of our exciting wetter farming trials, we are growing a commercial crop of bulrushes on purposefully re-wetted agricultural peat fields. But one question we get asked again and again is…

Rindle Field is a pioneering wetter farming (paludiculture) trial, investigating how traditional food crops can be grown on a re-wetted agricultural peatland.

Our pioneering Rindle wetter farming trial is working to support nature as well as our climate.

Dr. Suma Mani from Manchester Metropolitan University talks about how the water table is key in both reducing greenhouse gas emissions and growing food on our wetter farming trial site.
