SDG 6 | Exploring the Interconnection of Soil and Water Quality | Megan Strautmann

SDG Talks

How can we share sustainable practices with farmers and consumers?

Thanks for joining us for another episode of highlighting change makers and their inspirational work towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In this episode:

• How does Megan’s art highlight the interconnection of soil quality, water quality, and sustainable agriculture?
• Exploring sustainable practices through art
• How art can communicate the importance of sustainable agriculture to farmers and consumers

Hear from Megan Strautmann - an Art student at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.

Megan dives into her artwork, which explores the interconnection of soil quality, water quality, and sustainable agriculture.

She describes three paintings: 'In the Soil,' which shows a cross-section of soil with diverse plant life and water flow; 'Communication,' which depicts figures in a planted field to highlight the importance of spreading sustainable practices; and 'On the Farm,' which illustrates cows grazing and a tractor ready for seeding, emphasizing the role of livestock and soil management.

Megan stresses the importance of considering various factors affecting soil and water quality in farming and the need to communicate these practices to farmers and consumers.
