In the European Union, peatlands are largely drained for agriculture resulting in significant environmental damage and CO emissions. Rewetting is seen as an effective tool to reduce CO emissions, but drainage-based agricultural practices are locked-in. Instead of describing the scaling up of agriculture on wet peatlands, this paper examines the termination of drained peatlands use as an exnovation problem. Drawing on sustainability transitions research, we suggest exnovation as a conceptual perspective on the systemic changes towards sustainable agriculture. We propose a perspective on exnovation governance based on four dimensions: and . We assess existing recommendations and government policy for peatland rewetting in Germany in terms of exnovation governance, and highlight strengths and omissions. The exnovation approach provides a new perspective for decision-makers, while peatland also offers a promising avenue for further research within this framework.

泥炭地再润湿作为排水系统的挖掘——过渡治理视角

在欧盟，泥炭地大部分被排干用于农业，导致严重的环境破坏和二氧化碳排放。回湿被视为减少二氧化碳排放的有效工具，但基于排水的农业实践已被锁定。本文没有描述湿泥炭地农业规模的扩大，而是将终止排水泥炭地的利用作为一个挖掘问题进行研究。借鉴可持续性转型研究，我们建议将创新作为可持续农业系统性变革的概念视角。我们提出基于四个维度的创新治理视角： 和 。我们从挖掘治理方面评估了德国泥炭地再润湿的现有建议和政府政策，并强调了优点和不足。挖掘方法为决策者提供了一个新的视角，而泥炭地也为该框架内的进一步研究提供了一个有希望的途径。
