What are the economic and environmental incentives driving the development and implementation of this sustainable festival ground solution?

The mats, sourced from the "Klimafarm" project, utilize locally-sourced materials where possible, except for the coconut fibers. The Klimafarm project aims to explore sustainable agricultural uses for peatlands and develop marketable products from them. The hope is that generating income from peatlands will incentivize the rewetting and restoration of more agricultural land into peat bogs.
