Wet and waterlogged croplands are becoming increasingly relevant in Swiss agriculture as climate change raises groundwater levels and limits conventional farming. These areas, often seen as problematic, offer significant opportunities for biodiversity, climate miti-gation, and sustainable raw material production. Successful implementation of alternative cultures depends on adapted technologies, infrastructure investment, and new value chains, developed through pilot projects and cross-sector collaboration. This can position wetlands as key landscapes for climate-resilient, biodiversity-friendly agriculture. We are assessing farmers’ interest in alternative crops on organic soils and building partnerships for pilot projects.
