Sadhguru is an Indian yoga guru who is dedicated to spiritual work.
He has been teaching yoga in India since 1982 and established the Isha Foundation
which focuses on spirituality and yoga as well as educational activities. Sadhguru
also created the Save Soil Movement, a global initiative created to address the soil
crisis by bringing together people from around the world to stand up for Soil Health,
and supporting leaders of all nations to institute national policies and
actions toward increasing the organic content in cultivable Soil(Conscious Planet).
Why Save Soil?
Sadhguru decided to launch Save Soil to bring awareness about the soil crisis and to create and promote policies that
will work to reduce the impacts of dying soil. The dying soil is leading to food crisis,
water scarcity, loss of bio-diversity, climate change, loss of livelihood and conflict and migration.
According to Save Soil, "Most of us are familiar with words and concepts such as Climate Change, Carbon Emissions,
Air Pollution and Water Scarcity, but very few have focused attention on Soil. For millennia, life on earth has been
sustained by a thin layer of fertile soil on the earth's crust. Soil is the foundation of almost all life on this planet.
It is a complex symbiotic system of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids and living organisms that together support life.
Without organic content in the form of humus and living organisms and microbes, soil is reduced to inert sand."
The Mission
Sadhguru's Mission is to 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.
The plan for Save Soil is to create supportive policies for Soil Health in every nation.
Policies need the people's support.
And the people's support needs awareness.
Sadhguru is going across the world to take the message to 3.5 Billion people, 60% of the world's electorate.
Sadhguru is on a journey to meet citizens, leaders and experts as a lone motorcyclist covering 30,000 km across
25 nations from the United Kingdom to India in 100 days (Conscious Planet).
