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
The Solution
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.
The Plan
Soil health
needs supportive policies in every nationPolicies
need people's supportPeople's support
needs awarenessWhy are policies important?
Learn more
If we act now, this crisis can be effectively reversed across the globe through policies that are created to safeguard soil health. Isolated individual actions are no longer sufficient to turn this around. To ensure soil health, collective participation of all citizens is needed, which can only be ensured by adopting the necessary policies in every nation of the world.
Policy change success story
In the mid 1970s, scientists warned that manfactured chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs in everyday products like aerosols, refrigerators and air-conditioners were harming the ozone layer (the layer of atmosphere that protects us from the sun’s harmful skin-cancer causing ultra violet rays). In 1985, a hole was confirmed in the ozone layer over Antarctica and was rapidly increasing in size. The future could have been bleak with skin cancers, dying plants and damaged ecosystems worldwide. In 1987, countries came together – eventually 197 in total – and agreed to stop using CFCs and similar ozone-depleting chemicals by signing the Montreal Protocol. This policy has led to the phasing out of 99% of ozone-depleting chemicals. Today the ozone layer is recovering and at current estimates, the hole will close completely around the middle of this century. - *References: www.unep.org

മണ്ണ് സംരക്ഷണത്തിന്റെ സന്ദേശമുയർത്തി ഇഷ ഫൗണ്ടേഷന്റെ സേവ് സോയിൽ പ്രചാരണം രണ്ടാം ഘട്ടത്തിലേക്ക് കടക്കുമ്പോഴാണ് പോരാട്ടവും നിലപാടും മുന്നോട്ടുള്ള യാത്രയെക്കുറിച്ചുമുള്ള കാര്യങ്ങൾ സദ്ഗുരു ഏഷ്യാനെറ്റ് ന്യൂസിലൂടെ പങ്കുവച്ചത്. ഉപദേശങ്ങളല്ല സാമ്പത്തിക ആനുകൂല്യങ്ങളാണ് ഇന്ത്യയിൽ കർഷകർക്ക് വേണ്ടതെന്നാണ് സദ്ഗുരുവിന്റെ പക്ഷം. കൃഷി അറിയാത്തവർ പ്രചരിപ്പിക്കുന്ന നഗര വിഡ്ഢിത്തമാണ് ജൈവ കൃഷിയെന്ന വിമർശനവും ഏഷ്യാനെറ്റ് ന്യൂസ് റിപ്പോർട്ടർ അനൂപ് ബാലചന്ദ്രന് നൽകിയ പ്രത്യേക അഭിമുഖത്തിൽ സദ്ഗുരു വ്യക്തമാക്കി.

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.
