Peatlands: A farming issue, not just an environmental one

Peatlands are widely recognised for their environmental value, but for European farmers and landowners they remain a complex and demanding land management challenge. Although the conservation of peatlands plays a role in climate mitigation, too often the costs of this ecosystem is left alone on the shoulders of the landowners and managers. Projects such as “EUKI” address these difficulties by establishing long-term European alliance of national governments and a variety of stakeholders for sustainable resource management.
