I recently learned a new word: paludiculture.It’s not an easy one — but in Ireland, it might just be a game changer.Instead of draining peatlands and watching them pollute the atmosphere, farmers are learning how to farm with water, not against it. Herbs, vegetables, fruits, even building materials — all grown on wet peat.What struck me most is this:the fight against pollution becomes a source of income.With EU support through the Just Transition Fund, farmers can restore their land, cut emissions — and even earn carbon credits for the CO₂ they no longer release. Climate action stops being a burden and starts becoming part of a viable rural future.This project isn’t about theory. It’s about testing, learning, failing sometimes, and showing other farmers what’s possible.Sometimes the most powerful transitions start with a strange word — and the courage to try something new.#JustTransition #Ireland #ClimateAndPeople #RuralFutures #EUFunds
