3 new funding programmes for paludiculture projects

Paludiculture in practice, young scientists, water and nutrient management – new calls for proposals will be issued in October. Ideas can be developed and submitted until the end of January 2026.

10/11/2025  The Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (BMLEH) wants to further promote climate protection through peatland conservation and is intensifying its research funding. The three calls for funding address paludiculture management techniques, water and nutrient management, and young scientists.
Funding for ‘‘Research into innovative cultivation techniques for paludiculture“ is intended to support practical research with rapidly available technology and knowledge transfer in the field of land management and the extraction of renewable raw materials from paludiculture. The Ministry is offering young researchers up to five years of funding for the collection and modelling of data on rewetted moorland sites. Funding for „Water and nutrient management of paludiculture“ is intended to generate knowledge on the hydrology and nutrient supply of wet moors and paludiculture at the regional level.
