The Crisis
Lack of organic content turns soil into sand, leading to:
Food Crisis
In 20 years, 40% less food is expected to be produced for 9.3 billion people.
Poor soil leads to poor nutritional value. Today's fruits and vegetables already contain 90% fewer nutrients.
2 billion people suffer from nutritional deficiencies leading to multitude of diseases.
Water Scarcity
Depleted soils cannot absorb and regulate water flows.
Lack of water retention leads to water scarcity, droughts & floods.
Organic matter can hold up to 90% of its weight in water and release it slowly over time. This is a big help in drought-prone areas.
Loss Of Bio-Diversity
Scientists say that around 27000 species of life forms are becoming extinct every year due to loss of habitat.
The crisis has reached a point where 80% of the insect biomass has gone.
Loss of biodiversity further disrupts the soil habitat and prevents soil regeneration.
Climate Change
Carbon stored in soil is 3x that in living plants, and 2x that in the atmosphere, which means soil is crucial for carbon sequestration.
If the world's soils are not revitalized, they could release 850 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere contributing to climate change. This is more than all of humanity's emissions in the last 30 years combined.
Loss Of Livelihood
Thousands of farmers are committing suicide due to depletion in soil.
74% of the poor are directly affected by land degradation globally.
It is estimated that soil extinction is costing the world up to US$ 10.6 trillion every year.
Conflict And Migration
Population growth, and food and water scarcity could cause over 1 billion to migrate to other regions and countries by 2050.
Land issues have played a significant role in over 90% of major wars and conflicts in Africa since 1990.
From the French Revolution to the Arab Spring, high food prices have been cited as a factor behind mass protest movements.
Living Soil
Bring back at least 3-6% organic content in the soil
By bringing the land under shade from vegetation & enriching the soil through plant litter and animal waste.
Thriving, living soil is vital to life.

Non-profit soil movement is concerned about SA’s soil quality
Save Soil Movement ambassador, Tseke Nkadimeng, is currently undertaking a 10 000 km walk across the country to catch the attention of curious passersby. This, with the aim of educating them about the current condition of the soil.
He says food currently produced in backyard gardens as well as on large scale farms, is not organic enough. “Most of the farms that we visited across the country, we did ask them their organic content and it’s sitting around 0.2-0.3%. That means that for them to produce whatever they are planting, they have to add more nutrients, more chemicals, to make the to make the plants and everything else to be strong,” Nkadimeng elaborates.

‘Save Soil’: Why India should listen to this clarion call
The movement has come up as a wake-up call at a time when soil extinction in India as well as across the globe call for urgent intervention from governments and policy makers.

La catastrofe silenziosa che si sta consumando sotto i nostri piedi
Avrete sicuramente sentito parlare dell’estinzione dei dinosauri. Si parla anche della possibile scomparsa di panda e orsi polari. E purtroppo non è finita qui: ora dobbiamo anche confrontarci con l’estinzione del suolo.
Un degrado costante e silenzioso che ha un impatto negativo su 3,2 miliardi di persone nel mondo (UNCCD, 2019) e si concretizza in primo luogo col progressivo calo di sostanze nutritive presenti negli alimenti.
In poche parole, senza un livello sufficiente di contenuto organico nel terreno, non possono proliferare vegetali contenenti quell’ apporto minimo di sostanze utili al mantenimento della nostra salute.

Kuidas maailma tuntuim joogaguru sõitis tsikliga 30 000 km, et rääkida viljaka mulla hävimisest
64-aastane Jagadish Vasudev ehk Sadhguru on nii karismaatiline ja intelligentne kuju, et tema loengud pööravad pea peale isegi tõsimeelsete teadlaste mõttemaailma. Mis siis veel kraadide ja diplomiteta inimestest rääkida. Ta lõhub traditsioone, paneb inimesed oma humoorika ja selge jutuga end kuulama ning lõpuks imestama, kui loogiline see on, mida ta räägib. Äsja lõpetas ta 30 000 km pikkuse tsiklireisi Ühendkuningriigist Indiasse, et panna poliitikutele aru pähe. Tundub, et vähemalt sõnumitoojana tema ettevõtmine õnnestus.
