Give water and soil a voice!
When we demand a lot from water and soil... can they demand something from us in return?
Listening sincerely to Water and Soil
We demand a lot from water and soil. They provide us with a good food supply, biodiversity, and a pleasant living environment. We ask them to adapt to the design of our landscape. Water is an unpredictable partner and regularly makes itself heard: with flooding, drought, and quality problems. Soil is a silent force and tries to meet our needs until it is no longer able to.
To truly listen to Water and Soil, we need to know how they feel and behave. And more than that. We will have to give Water and Soil a voice in every collaboration where they play a role, such as future land use, biodiversity, housing projects, and our economy. But how do we do that? How do we make sure that we listen sincerely to what Water and Soil need? That is the essence of our study; with this advice, we present a starting point from which we can continue to develop our collaboration with nature.
