Paludiculture for Lowland Peat at The Royal Norfolk Show
Paludiculture for Lowland Peat at The Royal Norfolk Show
I am just setting up the Paludiculture Stand to reach new audiences by attending the Royal Norfolk Show this June. The Royal Norfolk Show is on the 28-29th June, at the Norfolk Showgrounds in Norwich, and Paludiculture.org.uk will be in the Innovation Tent with other Agri-Tech E stands, giving a glimpse of agriculture in the future. News of Paludiculture is spreading round the country following successful events in Cambridge, North-West, Ely and HumberHead and awards of the PEF funding, which will be announced soon, so there is sure to be a lot of new interest.
The Royal Norfolk Stand will help farmers and the general public to understand the concept of Paludiculture, what it might mean for our landscape in the future and how they can get involved. The Paludiculture Engagement Team from NIAB will be working with the Broads Authority at the event highlighting the challenges in lowland peat landscapes (balancing productivity, CO2 emissions and biodiversity); defining and demonstrating what paludiculture is and how its sustainable products could become part of our everyday lives in the future.
With over 80,000 visitors attending on average, the Royal Norfolk Show will provide a fantastic opportunity to showcase paludiculture with a wide-ranging group of people including VIPs, farmers, growers and other agribusiness, in addition to interested members of the public who attend the show annually. If you get the chance to drop-in to the stand and say hi, you are sure of a warm welcome.
