Before revision: In the EU's Common Agricultural Policy, it is defined as the productive land use of wet and rewetted peatlands that preserves the peat soil and thereby minimizes CO2 emissions and subsidence.Greifswald Mire Centre, Wetlands International, NUI Galway, Luke, ELF, Foundation for Peatlands: DEFINITION OF PALUDICULTURE IN THE CAP A recent review of tropical peatland paludiculture from the National University of Singapore evaluated wet and re-wetted management pathways in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration and concluded that commercial paludiculture is only suited to re-wetted peatlands, where it is carbon negative or neutral, as opposed to intact peatlands, where it increases emissions.
