📣 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝: van 15 tot 19 oktober doen we een grootse meerdaagse 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 + 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐨-𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞. Hieraan hebben we met @pomona en meer dan 10 middenveldorganisaties en Vlaamse instellingen hard gewerkt! ⛆ 💧 Een van de grootste uitdagingen van de landbouw vandaag is de klimaatverandering die dan weer droogte en dan weer overstromingen tot gevolg heeft. Tijdens de meerdaagse gaan we in dieper in op dit levensbelangrijke thema met bewuste moestuiniers, bezorgde beleidsmaker en pro-actieve landbouwers. Iedereen welkom! 🗣️ Als keynote spreker ontvangen we Mark Shepard, icoon in de agro-ecologische beweging en auteur van onder andere Water for Any Farm.

🌊 Join Futures through Design (HOGENT) and University of Antwerp for an enlightening evening on water management in regenerative landscapes, featuring agricultural pioneer Mark Shepard! 📅 Date: October 17th, 18:30 - 22:00 📍 Location: Stadscampus, University of Antwerp, Antwerp 🗣️ In his keynote lecture, Mark Shepard will present his innovative approach to water management in agricultural landscapes, as outlined in his book 'Water for Any Farm: Applying Restoration Agriculture Water Management Methods on Your Farm'. His key principle is to direct every raindrop to where it is most needed—first by slowing its flow, then guiding it to settle in the optimal location, storing it in the soil, pools, and other water features, and ultimately incorporating it into living materials like crops and other organisms. 💡 Beyond agricultural applications, Shepard's principles and technical insights offer valuable inspiration for integrating water effectively across various landscapes, contributing to resilience and regeneration in the event of both a shortage and an excess of water. 🗣️ To open the evening, Staes Jan from the Institute for Environment and Sustainable Development at the University of Antwerp will explore the water narrative at different scales and applications within the Flemish context in his lecture, 'Towards Sponge Landscapes in Flanders: Blue-Green Measures as Catalysts'. 🎟️ Visit the link below for more details and to secure your tickets #MarkShepard #WaterManagement #SustainableAgriculture #RegenerativeAgriculture #Agroecology #RegenerativeLandscapes #LandscapeArchitecture #October17th ngo Solidagro - Tim De Roeck & Katlijn Blondé - Pomona vzw - Laura van Selm
