Danish farmers divided over plan to flood their lands to cut emissions

In a country that aims to be carbon neutral by 2050, returning land to peat bog could save 1.4m tonnes of carbon emissions each year

Gill Andersen is, as far as she knows, the only British woman farming the lowlands of central Jutland. And after 32 years, she doesn't think much of Denmark's plans to meet new emissions targets by returning much of her land to peat bog.

"I don't think there are any farmers who want to ruin the climate," she says. "But the answer is not to flood our land and kill all the trees."
