On World Soil Day today (December 5), Isha Foundation founder Satguru appealed to all nations to take urgent action to restore our endangered soil resources.

Today (December 5), World Soil Day, Satguru, the founder of the Isha Foundation, appealed to all nations to take urgent action to restore our endangered soil resources.

Pointing out that "at least 3 per cent of the soil must be organic for agriculture," he wrote on his twitter page: Approaching this with the utmost urgency is the most important responsibility that all nations have to fulfil. We will make it happen. ”

Satguru will soon launch a movement called 'Conscious Planet' to restore soil fertility. In this context, he said about the importance of soil fertility:

"Currently, the biggest problem is the impact of climate change".

 But, if soil fertility is lost, it will cause far greater damage worldwide than this. Therefore, we must turn our attention to conserving soil resources. Extra emphasis should be placed on conserving biodiversity in the soil. 

Every single human being needs to be made aware of what kind of danger we are facing.

Soil plays a vital role in reducing carbon emissions. In addition, soil, which has the ability to store excess water, is the source of all life. 36 to 39 inches of topsoil is the source of 87 per cent of life on Earth.

 Even our body is made of this soil. Therefore, our bodies and other organisms cannot improve without improving soil fertility.

Environmental issues around the world need to turn into electoral issues. Only governments that care more about environmental protection should be elected to power. ”

In a shocking report released by the United Nations Federation for the Prevention of Desertification (UNCCD), the world is losing 75 billion tons of its fertility each year. As a result, 12 million hectares of land are becoming uncultivable due to drought. As a result, 20 million tons of food production will be affected.”

Furthermore, according to research reports from various environmental organizations in the United Nations, “in the next 45 to 60 years only 80 to 100 varieties of crops will be able to be cultivated in the world. 

This is because, in the last 30 years, 80 per cent of the biomass insects have disappeared. If this trend continues, there will be food shortages in the world in the next 45 to 50 years. Therefore, the people will be greatly affected, "said Tariq al-Hashimi, the party's secretary-general.
