Abstract
PeatGov-Austria aims to evaluate options for peatland management in Austria, assess their potential to reduce emissions, and identify the most effective governance approaches and policies to support a transformation towards climate-friendly agriculture on peatlands. The project applies an interdisciplinary approach that integrates agricultural economics, geoecology, and political science. The socio-economics sub-project focuses on the following: + Assessment of agricultural land use and management on peatland sites in Austria (cropping, grassland; use intensities, product use, etc.) for typical farms and context situations, including an economic assessment of productivity. + Analysis of socio-economic aspects and acceptance of climate-smart management adaptations and policy options in different natural and socio-economic contexts and for typical farms.
