"International organizations must take immediate action to protect soil resources," said Isha Outreach Project Coordinator at the UN Environment Council Conference. Yuri Jain insisted.
Since february 21, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEA) has hosted an international panel debate on "Hope on Earth." Isha Outreach, a UN-recognized group, was also asked to speak. Mr. Yuri Jain, the project coordinator, gave a lecture on their website yesterday (March 3).
In that speech he spoke:
Loss of soil fertility is a global problem. In India, 62 percent of the soil is converted to sand. Africa is set to lose two-thirds of its farmland by 2030.
The united states has already lost 50 percent of its soil fertility. About 75% of the soil in europe is deficient in nutrients. Experts warn that if this trend continues, 90 percent of the earth's soil will lose its fertility by 2050.
Loss of soil fertility is the root cause of all problems such as food and water scarcity, climate change and biodiversity damage. Therefore, international organizations should take immediate action to restore soil fertility.
Satguru, the founder of Isha, has started a global movement called 'Let's Save the Soil' to raise awareness about this internationally and to legislate.
Through this movement we plan to add awareness on soil resource conservation to 350 crore people worldwide. In addition, we are in talks with governments to legislate for this.
As part of this, Satguru will travel 30,000 km on a motorcycle to 27 countries in 100 days to raise awareness internationally.
International organizations should consider the 'Let's Save the Soil' movement as their own movement and not as Isha's movement.
This movement belongs to those who emerged from the dust, those who walk in the dust, and those who want to give this world to the next generation a better world than it is now. Thus he spoke.
