Frequently asked questions
Will the land be lost to agriculture?
Once the project has control of farmland it will begin the process of conversion to wetland habitats. Eventually arable cultivation of crops will stop. Some agricultural practices will be used to manage the Great Fen, including grazing and hay cutting. If the worst was to happen and the UK had to drastically increase the amount of land in cultivation, then the vast majority, if not all, of the Great Fen could be returned to arable, as all that would be required is more pumping and then ploughing. Indeed, the project will conserve current peat resources whilst arable farming depletes them.
