Day 1๏ธโฃ : Fragrance of Soil
I have always wondered how Soil smells like.
In my home state of Kerala we have had variations of laterite and alluvial soils.
Apart form the geography lessons, my grandfather had a very simplistic answer.
He went outside scooped a palmful of earth in his hand and filled my two little hands.
Yes, I don't remember the year but I was very small and rode a dog like a horse ๐
When grandfather filled my hand with soil. I was instantly struck by the cold comfort. It was so cuddly like my mother's hands.
As I felt through the soil I had the urge to bring it up to my nose and smell. I was able to experience a damp coldness. It was not the smell of a wet cloth or a mossy corner.
It was the smell of Life. I have never experienced such a smell inside a petri dish , a lab culture or a gestation tube.
Soil is indeed unique as it forms the very fabric under which we thrive and prosper.
Let us all take a scoop of earth from our nearby land and experience the smell of life.

Sadhguru, a yogi and visionary, has set off for his 100-day solo motorcycle journey as part of his mission to save soil.
All set to visit 27 nations in the course of few months, Sadhguru aims to address the issue of soil extinction and engage with world leaders and media regarding the same.

In a recent address to UK Parliamentarians, Sadhguru ardently voiced the importance of a girl child in this movement as a way of transcending social divisions of nationality, race, religion and caste, and creed. โWhen they see a child, a girl child,โ he said, โI believe peopleโs hearts will become little more tender.โ He urged women to take up the movement, speaking of the critical role they play because of the greater concern they have for future generations. โIf you want to say โI love youโ to your child, you must just say โSave Soilโ because it is a more committed way of saying โI love you.โ
According to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), over 90% of the earthโs soil could become degraded by 2050 leading to catastrophic crises worldwide including food and water shortages, droughts and famines, adverse climate changes, mass migrations and unprecedented rates of species extinction. This โsoil extinctionโ is the gravest threat to Humanity right now, as our planet is losing the ability to grow food because of rapid soil degradation.
Soil is the basis of our lives. But...
Agriculture, deforestation, and other factors have degraded and eroded topsoil at alarming rates. Globally, 52% of agricultural land is already degraded. The planet is in crisis. If current rates of soil degradation continue, this would be the end of life as we know it.
The Planet is in 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.

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.

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.
