4th International Conference on the Utilisation of Wetland Plants

September 23rd – 26th 2025 in Greifswald, Germany

How can peatland rewetting and innovative land-use concepts be  combined for an effective contribution to climate change mitigation?   What are innovative examples for creating and strengthening regional  value chains? What strategies can overcome barriers and challenges to  enable a just transition to sustainable peatland use?

The 4th RRR conference on Renewable Resources from Wet and Rewetted  Peatlands in Greifswald offers a platform to explore these questions and  many others, fostering dialogue between science and practice. By  bringing together diverse stakeholders, the event aims to encourage  knowledge exchange, build networks, and develop and strengthen  practical, forward-looking solutions.

The Greifswald Mire Centre warmly invites you to join the RRR2025  conference and to actively contribute to shaping a sustainable future  for our peatlands.

Scope of the conference

The use of wetland biomass has a long history and has recently gained  renewed attention as global efforts focus on renewable resources and  climate protection. The term "paludiculture" was created and introduced  in 1998,more than 25 years ago. Since then, significant progress has  been made in areas such as rewetting, cultivation methods, biomass  processing, marketing, policy development, and raising public awareness.  This conference aims to unite stakeholders involved in paludiculture,  welcoming scientists, landowners and land users, administrators,  businesses, artists, designers, policymakers, conservationists and all  other interested people.
