Our recent pilot experiment to grow rice on peatlands triggered widespread interest and discussion among the general public and scientists about the potential of rice in northwestern Europe. The idea is simple: rewetting peatlands for rice crops with fish may provide a viable alternative in warming climates for the current farming system while it halts land subsidence and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. This project aims to determine best crop management and potential rice and fish yields and assess what it’s benefits are for the environment and if rice-fish can help to transform current farming systems.
