Researchers in the Netherlands are attempting to explore the possibility of rice cultivation as an alternative to dairy farming on peat soil with high water levels. Last year, they successfully grew rice but the yield was low. This year, they plan to experiment with 32 different types of rice, chosen for their suitability to the Dutch climate. In addition, the researchers hope to establish a circular agricultural system by breeding catfish in the rice fields, as the fish waste would provide nutrients for the rice plants.
