About half of greenhouse gas emissions in Finnish primary production is created by the cultivation of peat soils. Hence, the largest and quickest emission reductions are possible by changes in the agricultural practices on peat soils. A joint policy brief by seven research projects encourages to implement emission reduction and carbon sequestration measures both on peat and …
