Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticultural Industry: Discussion
Mr. Philip Nugent:
Import will need to be part of the solution, and is already happening because of the shortage of supply. There is obviously a carbon footprint associated with import but there is also a carbon footprint associated with hauling horticultural-grade peat from one side of the country to another. I have not seen the numbers on it but there are environmental implications both ways.
