Description
The Paludiculture Roadmap produced by the Lowland Agricultural Peat Task Force's Paludiculture Sub-group was published earlier this year. The agronomy pathway contains actions related to weeds, pests and diseases across years 2 and 3 of the roadmap. Whilst parts of this pathway will be informed by ongoing paludiculture projects and other parts of the roadmap, questions are arising regarding developing policy on paludiculture which means that Defra requires answers before 2025 (roadmap year 3).
