What’s Missing? Life. A Microscopic View of Why Living Soils Are So Crucial.
June 28, 2025
As ecosystem disruption and climate change worsen, if there was one thing on which we can concentrate our efforts, money, and time to address these issues all at once, what would it be? The answer is Life in soil. Microorganisms and their symbiotic relationship with living plant roots form the foundation of the soil ecosystem. To encourage a diverse, well-fed soil microbial community, soil needs to be covered all seasons of the year by a variety of green cover, providing living roots, organic matter, and protection from the elements.

From Homemaker to a Successful Regenerative Farmer, a Seed Conservator, and an Entrepreneur: Shyamala’s Journey of Renewal
September 30, 2025
Shyamala is from the town of Mettur in Salem district, Tamil Nadu. As a homemaker looking to grow food for her family and planning to sell the surplus, she started cultivating vegetables on a small scale. Her search led her to the Isha Agro Movement, now the Save Soil Regenerative Revolution - SSRR. For Shyamala, farming may be profitable, but more than that, farming was a path of personal growth through which she has found peace in working with nature.
Fifteen varieties of vegetables on 0.6 acres of land: An inspiring story of Marimuthu
July 14, 2025
This is an inspiring story of Marimuthu, a farmer from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, who pioneered a farming model that has transformed his region. Born into a farming family, he says that his father shifted from agriculture to factory work due to the instability of farming. In his early twenties, he came into contact with Sadhguru and the Isha Foundation. He attended yoga classes and became a full-time volunteer with their outreach project—Isha Agro Movement. Marimuthu’s story is not just about successful farming—it’s about reclaiming the passion for nature, feeding his children with nutritious food, helping fellow farmers, healing the land, and leaving a healthy land for the next generation.

Soil as Climate‑Critical Infrastructure: From Agricultural Input to Strategic Resilience Asset
October 21, 2025
Developed economies with high GDPs and substantial agricultural budgets, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, and France, are uniquely positioned to lead the global mainstreaming of soil into climate adaptation strategies. In the United Kingdom, soil is central to the Environmental Land Management schemes, with a target of 60 percent of England’s soils being under sustainable management by 2030. Developed economies are investing heavily in soil as a foundation for climate resilience; however, they have yet to fully mainstream soil into adaptation planning, with harmonized monitoring, quantified targets, and practice-based, outcome-based incentives that need to be encouraged.
Soil as a Lead Indicator of the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA)
October 21, 2025
Soil health, anchored by soil organic carbon (SOC) and its biological, chemical, and physical foundations, offers a rigorous, globally relevant set of indicators for tracking adaptation progress under the GGA while delivering mitigation co-benefits. Recognizing soil as climate-critical infrastructure allows countries to bridge adaptation and mitigation goals, empower farmers, and unlock co-benefits across sectors.
