This webinar explored how farmers, financiers, processors, nature organisations and policymakers can come together to shape a future-proof agricultural landscape on peat soils. Featuring Rabobank, cheese factory De Graafstroom, and the Green Restoration Ireland cooperative, this session highlighted the Green Circle Cheese and Soil Subsidence initiative — a powerful example from the Netherlands where water management, circular agriculture, biodiversity, and soil health meet. Discover how this regional partnership is tackling soil subsidence, reducing emissions, and preserving nature while producing high-quality dairy — and how similar collaborations could take root across Europe. This session is especially relevant for farmers, cooperatives, and networks working in peatland regions.
