Paludiculture Explained
In this episode of Agronomy Matters, host Thomas Vaughan, the Environment Manager for BASIS, welcomes two guests from the Lancashire Wildlife Trust: Sarah Johnson and Mike Longden.
\nSarah and Mike are members of the Peatlands Team. One of their many projects involves exploring paludiculture, also known as wetter farming. Through initiatives such as the wetter farming trial at Rindle Field, they work to restore degraded peatlands, enhance biodiversity, and mitigate climate change while maintaining agricultural viability.
\nTheir efforts highlight the Lancashire Wildlife Trust\u2019s dedication to environmental conservation and sustainable land management. Listeners are invited to join as the podcast delves into the world of paludiculture and wetter farming, uncovering the transformative potential of these practices with insights from Sarah and Mike.
