SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS OF PALUDICULTURE

Paludi4All aims to understand the socio-economic, climate and environmental aspects of paludiculture, thereby holistically assessing the potentials for climate change mitigation, environmental protection and creating jobs and income in rural areas, as well as identifying innovative solutions for upscaling paludiculture in Europe. This will be achieved through Paludi4All’s interdisciplinary, co-creation-based systems approach that addresses the farm-, value chain-, and market levels and the governance context shaping these levels.Paludi4All supports the paludiculture sustainability transition through enhanced understanding of economic implications of paludiculture for farms and society, creating a comprehensive market perspective on paludiculture, speeding up the development of paludiculture and improving knowledge on the paludiculture potential and environmental impacts. Paludi4All endeavours to contribute significantly to the expected outcomes of the work programme. By enhancing the understanding of paludiculture systems, supporting the EU approach to carbon farming, and exploring innovative solutions, we align with the broader goals of the European Green Deal, the EU biodiversity strategy, and the Destination's impact related to efficient monitoring, assessment, modelling, and decision-making support systems for climate change mitigation and adaptation policies at European and global levels.
