RESOURCES
The objective is to develop a portal for any relevant information that can be shared around the community and help others discover paludiculture. This is of course an organic process (excuse the pun) and the site will continue to evolve with time. To help us achieve this we would appreciate your input. If you have any content or links to videos, podcasts, companies, publications or other research that you think we should consider including please email us at paludiculture@niab.com.
Links to other sites
An important part of this page is linking openly to other websites. This approach offers access to more detailed information and a chance to check out a different perspective. We select links we consider are suitable and relevant to the sites content. Whilst external links are reviewed on a regular basis, NIAB cannot accept responsibility for the content of external internet sites. The inclusion of a link to an external website should not be understood to be an endorsement of that website or the site’s owners, products, or services.
Cranberry Best Management Practice Adoption and Conservation Farm Planning in Massachusetts
2006

DeMoranville C.J.
This paper outlines how cranberry cultivation historically developed in wetlands, including bogs, swamps, mires, and peat‑based soils. Cranberry bogs—both natural and constructed—represent one of the earliest large‑scale agricultural uses of wetlands in North America, long before the term “paludiculture” was coined. The document explains regulatory frameworks defining “normal agricultural practices” for wetland‑based cranberry farming and describes how Best Management Practices (BMPs) were developed for nutrient management, water control, and environmental protection. It highlights that cranberry thrives in cool, moist, acidic wetland habitats and can be grown in managed flooded bog systems, making it highly relevant as a paludiculture crop.
