Are you monitoring methane levels as well? Because decomposition without oxygen crates methane CH4 instead of CO2 which is much worse for the greenhouse effect and climate change in general.
I found this interesting . It's great that this farmer is trying on his own to do this . Someone in the comments mentioned the traditional way they grew food in Mexico on the lakes . The chinampas could be used in places like Ireland that is predicted to get even more rain in the future . We need to experiment with all these ideas
This is where selling CO2 offset tokens is very very useful. If he can sell his offset CO2 he can use that money to reinvest into wetting more wetlands. Buying CO2 offset isn't a solution in the long term, but in this transitional period where the costs of being sustainable is very expensive it should be really pushed to help these smaller scale projects pick up momemtum and being able to reach the scale needed.
Honestly, our whole farming system needs a dramatic overhaul. For instance: did you know that rice doesn’t actually need a crazy amount of water? The reason we typically grow rice in deep standing water is simply because it’s very water tolerant so this reduces the amount of weeding that we need to do….but this is at the cost of nasty methane emissions. Some farmers have found that simply draining the water at a certain point during the growth cycle cuts the methane emissions almost to zero! Of course, we could also just replace some of our rice consumption with quinoa as well which solves a similar issue…
I agree that most cases don't specifically need alot of water but there is a form of aquaponics that grows fish along with the rice. In that case I'm all for flooding. Free fish fertilizer and free fish!
@@hawks9142 yea, there’s rarely a perfect one-size-fits all solution. I believe that what you describe also reduces the methane emissions because the pond is kept permanently flooded in order to keep the fish alive. During normal farming, the water is drained after the harvest which leads to the emissions. Side note: your comment is exactly why one of my pet peeves is how much environmental groups fight over which solution is better. I’m actually working on a video right now which essentially says “stop fighting over which renewable energy is perfect because they’re all better than fossil fuels. So just go freaking build them already!”
In a rice cultivation system called SRI (system of rice intensification) rice is cultivated with no stagnant water it has been found that the yield is comparatively higher than the usual way of growing rice. The only con of the system is that it requires lot of manual labour to pull out the weeds .
@@SaveMoneySavethePlanet I think why people fight over which one is better is because they want to do it the cheapest and be producing the most electricity out of it while protecting the ecosystem. An example would be dams, dams block fish from going up and down stream, which can limit the numbers of that species. Though I do agree we should probably just start building renewable energy sources.
@@notsobreadd there’s definitely a portion of the people who have good intentions and start like how you describe. But there’s also a segment which is just fossil fuel companies “fanning the flames” in an effort to increase confusion. They figure that more confused people will make it harder to really follow through on any decisions which will enable them to make money off of fossil fuels for longer. There’s actually a study which was conducted not long ago and concluded that we’ve moved past “climate denial” into “climate misinformation.” I found it really enlightening to read through their various examples. And this act of “fanning the flames” which I describe was one of those examples.
Combine this with agro-forestry, especially with trees that are good in wetter soils. 2 bonuses, wind breaks and water retention allow the water table to become less extreme. Willows have unique properties, they're sources of the base for ASA pain reduction, the trees produce a natural rooting hormone, and when used to make living barriers reduce the need for fencing materials. There are other species that like to grow in soggy soils like cranberries. Why rely on dry dirt? Multiply the income streams and diversify the ecology too.
Although it is not the primary cause of peatland destruction, the vast majority of potting soils contain peat / sphagnum moss from peat bogs. If you can, use peat-free potting soil for your plants and buy bare root plants or grow your plants from seed/cuttings instead of buying potted plants!
I remember video about african guy who built his farm from a dryland to wetland that can grow tropical fruits such as banana, mango etc. He did it traditionally with water manipulation and it takes 20 years tho.
This is interesting. A lot of people are taking the initiative to reduce CO2 emissions, unfortunately, Countries and major companies are dragging their feet on reducing greenhouse gasses.
We need to do more? At what cost? People are facing a cost of living crisis (and soon to be food crisis from the Nitrogen reduction initiatives), from the unintended blowback of the current raft of green policies that promised us abundant, reliable, cheap green energy. How many people need to suffer and/or die to usher in your glorious green utopia? It's grotesque.

I just learned that Germany lost most of Its peatland due to agriculture while lecturing SEA countries not to use theirs for palm plantation. Discrediting CPO is not about protecting the planet. It is about protecting EU farmers who also take the most of EU budget.
Well, yeah. But it’s less lecturing more begging. We’ve already made that mistake. We should be willing to pay for keeping peat lands and forests though. It’s to all our benefits, while costing people economic opportunities. This has to be paid for.
@@rumo893 well what we at SEA want is they pay for their own damages. We'll settle our own ourselves. Hypocrisy is the last thing we want here. Actually we don't want it at all
The government has to offer incentives of some type with the startup cost being so great. But it is pretty good at all so it is worth subsidizing the equipment.
It's strange how precise we are in other fields but when it comes to our earth we could care less. It's really an extension of us, idk why we dont treat it like the delicate living organism that it is. It dies we die simple as
Umm this is cheap like come on a basic equipment like that in America would run you $500,000 and definitely can go up more. California use to have lots but over 80% is gone ok 97% is gone no really California of all places use to have some but now its all farmland and very little has homes on top the majority is farmland. Oh California had lots of mangroves now 98% are gone and 1 spices was edible and still not cultivate it like come on these trees can grow in 100% ocean water good god people.
Paying farmers money or raising/lowering taxes or subsidizing to make it more lucrative then conventional farming is the only way i think. If you as a consumer have to pay more for the conventional product in no time you'll have the this is the standard.
Hey Marton, good question! This paper looked at different emissions of peatlands and came to the conclusion that there are two options: either peatlands stay drained and emit CO2, or they are rewetted and then would emit CH4. (🔗 www.greifswaldmoor.de/files/dokumente/Infopapiere_Briefings/202211_Fact%20sheet_GMCUR_Methan_English.pdf)
I do not share the conclusion that intensive farming is economically better. What is exactly tha value of a good live for your grandchild. Cheap bread?
In my view, this will not reduce CO2, but only capture back the carbon that was released when the area became dry. New CO2 from fossil fuels will not be captured unless you make more land wet than before, or you make a higher water level area. Any thoughts?
Fossil fuels are derivation of decomposed organic matter so you are wrong. Planting trees, rebuilding forests etc will bring all healthy air back. Trees capture carbon in it so they are made of carbon and more carbon can be turned to fossil fuel by nature.
There's never a way to do both. It is always a price to be paid. Only thing is that in some cases the price us hidden. We need to make hard choices for climate change mitigation. We better do them now or else we have to settle for We orse choices in the future. If peatlands absorb carbon, just allow them to do that. Trying something e o se when one can never model planet scale effects accurately is just creating a new problem from a old one.
I saw something about rice grown in submerged fields emitting methane. Does this mean that organic matter in ricefields decomposes anaerobically and thus creates peat and binds carbon?
Big question - Can you say what is the minimum level of CO₂ before life above the surface is irretrievably compromised?

The amount of taste per square meter will be the same or more on peat meadows, while the amount of cheese per square meter goes down. This means equal or more taste, over less cheese so you get cheese which you can sell for more money. There must be a profitable business model for wetland cheese. For people with less sensitive palates you can allso sell the idea that you can have a negative impact on global warming by eating meat and dairy products.

Politics and regulations are a much bigger problem for Farmland. Wetland farming can be more productive than dry farming on those soils. there are very protein rich wetland plants in northern Europe that could outproduce corn and soy for animal feed in europe. the issue is that you only get any help from the government to invest if you go organic.
.........JUST........PLANT RICE THERE..........BEST CONDITIONS FOR GROWING RICE IF TO CONSIDER THE WARMING.... ....AND RICE IS PERFECT FOR BOTH HUMANS AND CATTLE AS GIVING JUST LOTS OF BIOMASS
over 80% of the Netherlands was'nt ever a swamp, it was part of the Ocean and the process of building the polders locked up ALOT of carbon in the process.
@@DenSchimmige there are parts of the Netherlands that were very swampy not unlike the area around England but a majority of the Netherlands was created artificially through a system draining the sea, planting sea grasses (high salinity tolerance) for I believe 5 years, applying the manure from animals that eat the grass and then turning it into a pasture for many years before it can actually be used for crop production.
@@chunkmen aaah that. Yeah that is after germanic times.. If i remember correctly monks started doing that in the middle ages. The province 'Flevoland' is a good example of what you say. And thx for correcting yourself. Sea is correct. Ocean was not ^^
Higher CO2 is good for plants and there is no correlation between climate in atmospheric CO2! Of course using biology in the soil for farming is also good and allows us to get away from synthetic fertilizers.
Wouldn't it be faster, more effective, and have a far further reaching benefit to start by reining in China and India's emission levels? Or to crack down on over fishing the oceans? Not saying this isn't beneficial. Just seem like a paltry gain vs 2 immensely destructive powerhouses.
Yalls per capita qualifier is an ignorant intentionally misleading way to attempt to shift blame away from the 2 worst offenders on the planet. Bulk emissions is the only important measurement. The fact China and India have so many people is just another damning tic on the list of ways both those countries are destroying not only their local ecosystems but the earth.
Interesting, fist time I hear about palludiculture. I guess rice is not covered under palludiculture despite being planted in water because it is soild draining?
Unfortunately you can't produce food directly for humans on these wet peatlands. Only crops suitable for animals grows in these conditions. It would be wonderful if wheat or barley could be grown like this. This video is very misleading and over simplifies problems. This won't be a solution on a large scale
Despite what vegan extremists say, this is why meat should always remain part of our diet. The best type of agriculture is the one that's adapted to the local environment and soil. We need to consume LESS meat than we do now, but not to all become vegans. Since chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides were invented a few decades ago, agriculture started being done the same way everywhere no matter the condition of the soil. This has extremely negative impacts on ecosystems and will eventually destroy our entire societies and way of life if we keep working this way. Thus, using peatlands sustainably to feed cattle or sheeps is actually a very good way of feeding ourselves. And so is feeding goats with the waste from vegetal farming, using chickens to eat bugs in the soil on an organic farm, using geese to eat weeds in an apple orchard, and so on.
It will become profitable eventually, once farmers will find techniques to improve the way they work. You can't magically switch to a new type of agriculture in one day... What's for sure is that climate change will eventually destroy "conventional" farms which rely on monocultures and chemicals (and such monocultures are themselves responsible for the destruction of the environment)
You can pay people to read the scripts written in English but you can't pay someone to read the translation of other languages? Really? Some people only listen to news.

Thus, using peatlands sustainably to feed cattle or sheeps is actually a very good way of feeding ourselves. And so is feeding goats with the waste from vegetal farming, using chickens to eat bugs in the soil on an organic farm, using geese to eat weeds in an apple orchard, and so on.
Governments giving out money to paludiculture farmers doesn't make paludiculture more profitable, do you not use your brains
I'm serious, this channel is one of the lowest intelligence channels on youtube
It will become profitable eventually, once farmers will find techniques to improve the way they work. You can't magically switch to a new type of agriculture in one day...
What's for sure is that climate change will eventually destroy "conventional" farms which rely on monocultures and chemicals (and such monocultures are themselves responsible for the destruction of the environment)
