Peatlands are real carbon storing champions. But as we need more farmland, we're drying them up at alarming rates and release enormous amounts of CO2 in the process. What to do about it? Well, there might just be a way to do both — keep the ground wet AND grow food on it. • Reporter: Kai Steinecke • Camera: Henning Goll • Video editor: Kai Steinecke • Supervising editors: Joanna Gotschalk, Malte Rohwer-Kahlmann • We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess. • #PlanetA #Peatlands #SustainableAgriculture • Read more: • History and future of peatland emissions: • https://www.nature.com/articles/s4155... • Restoring peatlands: • https://eprints.ncl.ac.uk/file_store/... • Water level and emissions: • https://www.nature.com/articles/s4158... • Paludiculture in Germany: • https://link.springer.com/article/10.... • Chapters: • 00:00 Intro • 00:34 Welcome to the wet farm • 03:37 Carbon storing champs • 05:16 Paludiculture • 07:50 How to rewet? • 09:39 Talking money • 11:21 Conclusion
