The Miyawaki Method

TURBO BOOSTING FOREST GROWTH

The Miyawaki Method is nature’s turbo boost for growing microforests! This game-changing technique tightly packs native species in layers, creating vibrant mini-forests that thrive and grow fast. It’s like the Olympic sprint of reforestation—plants compete for light and shoot up quickly, reaching full maturity and a lush canopy in just 2 to 5 years. That’s up to 10 times faster than traditional methods, making lush, lively forests in record time!

Watch It in action

Miyawaki Forest as a carbon sink

Miyawaki forests are nature’s speedsters at carbon capture! They grow so quickly that they sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in record time. Their rapid growth makes them allies in fighting climate change.

Wiyawaki Forest and water cycle

Another Bonus:Dense Miyawaki forests are nature’s water-powered dynamo! With their multi-layered plant setup, they turn water evaporation and transpiration into a local water cycle booster. These compact green superheroes crank up the humidity and keep the soil happily hydrated!

Usurp the Burp: Reducing Methane

Marine ecologist Jennifer Smith at UC San Diego's Scripps Institute of Oceanography is revolutionizing the fight against climate change! Dive into the world of seaweed cultivation, where "Asparagopsis taxiformis" holds the key to a staggering 95% reduction in methane emissions from cow burps!

Sargassum & Oceanic Sequestration

Sargassum, like other macroalgae and microalgae, plays a natural role in oceanic carbon sequestration.Seafields Solutions looks to utilize some unlikely real estate by developing a giant seaweed farm in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean that is capable of capturing one gigatonne of carbon dioxide each year.

ReSTORing Peatland: An excellent CaRBON SINK

Irish Peatlands: Store More Carbon Than Forests

Did you know , peatlands cover only 3% of the world's land but store more carbon than all forests combined. In a bold move toward sustainability, the Irish government has taken a significant step by phasing out the use of peat as fuel to meet its emissions targets. This decision not only acknowledges the crucial role peatlands play in carbon storage but shows a commitment to restorng this incredible carbon sink.

Flow Country : 400 Million Tons of Carbon Stored

Peat bogs, when properly restored, can regain full photosynthesis capacity in just five to ten years. These amazing ecosystems are vital in our fight against climate change, storing more carbon than all the world's forests combined, despite covering only a small percentage of the land. Enter the Flow Country, located in the far north of Scotland, it's the most intact and extensive blanket bog system globally, with a complex network of pools, diverse flora and fauna, and serving as one of Earth's essential carbon sinks.

Paludiculture: Recovering PEAT BOGS WHILE FARMING

What is Palidiculture: Is it Viable?

Paludiculture is the sustainable farming of wetlands, especially peatlands. Unlike traditional agriculture on drained peatlands, which harms the environment, paludiculture aims to preserve wetland hydrology while using it for economic gain. By doing so, it helps fight climate change by keeping carbon stored and promoting vegetation growth as a carbon sink. This method involves growing plants like reeds or harvesting peat responsibly. Over 50 individuals, including farmers and policymakers from Europe, explored paludiculture research and implementation during a 5-day study tour at GMC sites. It's not just a buzzword; it's a crucial step toward climate protection!

Paludiculture: Successful German Farm

Peatlands are incredible carbon storehouses, yet we're draining them for farmland, releasing massive CO2 emissions. We're facing environmental destruction at an alarming rate.

There is hope! There are solutions: keeping the ground wet while still growing food. See how a farmer in Germany transformed his farm back into a bog and successfully grew hay on it! It's a win-win for agriculture and the environment.
