Summary
The Wadden Sea, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of significant environmental value, faces multiple interconnected crises including subsidence from gas extraction and peat oxidation, soil erosion, saltwater intrusion, eutrophication, and agricultural water pollution. These challenges threaten the territory's long-term stability and social fabric. The book 'Fluid Soils' introduces a transformative approach to addressing these issues through (co)design strategies that integrate peatlands, agriculture, energy, and heritage management. By focusing on landscape-driven solutions, it proposes innovative economic and social inclusion projects that leverage the interplay between soil and water to mitigate crises and foster sustainable development in the region.
