Notice Title
Nature for Climate: Paludiculture Exploration Fund
Notice Description
The Paludiculture Exploration Fund (PEF) is a new grant scheme sitting under the umbrella of the Nature for Climate Peatland Grant Scheme (NCPGS) managed and delivered by Natural England. PEF Grants are to help unlock barriers to the development of commercially viable paludiculture. The focus of the grants offered through PEF is tackling both ends of the supply chain, i.e., the growing and harvesting of paludiculture crops and/or the development of products based on those crops. Land-based projects (including machinery development) must take place on lowland peat soils in England. Product development projects must be based in England, but the paludicultural crops used to develop the product can be sourced from further afield if sufficient supplies cannot be sourced in England. The intention of PEF is to help develop the evidence base and create the conditions for paludiculture enterprises in England, to facilitate this, outputs generated by PEF Grants will be made available to others. For example, data gathered in your project and/or other knowledge gained could be shared as a case study. This will be in line with the Grant Terms and Conditions, a copy of these will be supplied as part of the Invitation to Apply pack on Atamis.
