Dr. Humberto Delgado Rosa:

It is my perception that the amount of agricultural area in drained peatland in Ireland is just a proportion, and I believe not enormous, of the agricultural land in Ireland overall. If I am not wrong, therefore, even if rewetting would imply some reduction of production, and this is not necessarily abandoning production of all kinds, but even in that context, the measures there for land and ecosystems actually reinforce productivity, production and resilience in those areas in the long run. Regarding 2050, therefore, if the measures are properly applied to ecosystems, food security would be reinforced and not put at stake.
