Namaskar, I'm Victoria. Wonderful. I've just been a little while ago, been watching all your magic points that you scored.

0:18.0

Wow, what a girl. Thank you so much. It's my true honor to speak with you. I'm very, very excited and I've been actually thinking about this moment for a while now and I'm just very, very happy that I'm here today speaking with you. So it's my honor.

0:45.0

Victoria, the thing is right now, this conscious planet moment. Well, it's picked up very well on the ground, lots of heads of state are all coming together. All UN agencies, we have formed partnerships with them. They're all going.

0:59.0

A lot of political leaders, social celebrities, movie stars, musicians, particularly sports people are also coming in now. So it's going very well on the ground. So from March 21st, I'm writing from London to India through 25 nations.

1:18.0

So this is 100 days. From March 21st, 100 days, we want the whole world to talk about soil. So the simple thing is whatever to the tweets you do, whatever messages you do, just in saying, I love you, you say safe soil because that's the only way we can express our love to future generations.

1:40.0

Yeah, and one of the, one of the things I have been before, before anybody reached out to me, I've watched a lot of videos about this movement before and I love the idea and the way you describe in that for future generation, you know, my generation, I don't think of myself as old.

2:08.0

It's only 32, but I have a son who is five years old and I feel like to get him educated on those type of things, it's really, really important. And that's, you know, what his generation is the one who is going to be part of, you know, future and probably affected more, more than than our generation.

2:34.0

So I always, I, that's kind of my mission also as a parent to make sure that I give him tools and understanding of, of the planet, I grew up on, on, on not on the farm, but my, my grandparents, my parents, they, they had a summer, summer house where they taught us all about how to, how to understand the soil, how to grow vegetables, how to be more in, in touch with nature.

3:04.0

So I grew up knowing and understanding that, but in, you know, in society that, that we kind of live it now with all the technology and everything it becomes a bit further away from more, more natural, natural ways. So something that I would love, you know, also for my son to understand and be in touch with.

3:30.0

And thank you for, you know, bringing the light to this issue and I hope that obviously with your mission and little part of what I can do is to educate people more on the importance of it.

3:46.0

So the important thing is everybody who matters in the world, we do it in a coordinated way that for this 100 days we want the entire world to speak of soil from March 21st, 100 days.

3:59.0

So that's what we are activating. I don't want to call this my moment because this is not about me, this is about life on the planet, this is a generational responsibility.

4:10.0

Say every responsible scientist in the world right now is pointing out by 2045, we will be producing 40% less food and our population will be 9.2 billion.

4:22.0

That is not a world in which you would want to live. Compared to me, you're 32, you're still a baby only, okay?

4:31.0

So and you have a baby and a smaller baby, you know, in 20 years time where I will be is a question mark, but all of you will be around on this planet and it's very, very important because soil is not our property.

4:46.0

It's a legacy that's come to us from previous generations, keeping it alive and passing it on to next generation is a most important responsibility that we have.

4:56.0

People have been dodging soil as a issue for a variety of reasons. I don't want to go into the politics of it, but right now in the last two years that I've been working on this project, I have spoken to many, many scientists, many heads of states, various leaders, celebrities.

5:13.0

Till now I have not met one person who's spoken in negative, all of them want this to happen because one important aspect of the project and the moment is that it is not against anybody.

5:25.0

This is not against chemical fertilizer, this is not against oil company, this is not against anything.

5:32.0

This is about keeping the soil alive. This is not about, you know, what country you belong to, what race you are, what religion you are.

5:42.0

It doesn't matter whatever you may believe in, but essentially all of us come from the soil and we definitely go back to the soil one way or the other.

5:52.0

Yes. It reminds me of your question and answers that you do with the sessions where you talk it, people don't do it, that you're going to die someday, that you're going to end up in a big surprise at some point.
