We are talking about climate change, carbon emissions and global warming and various other aspects.

But we are not addressing soil.

Soil is the habitat upon which zillions of lives thrive.

Once there is no richness in soil, then you have forsaken the planet in many ways.

Every responsible scientist in the world and the UN agencies are clearly saying we have only 80 to 100 harvest left.

That means approximately 45 to 50 years of agricultural soil left on the planet.

By 2045, we will be producing 40% less food than what we are producing right now and our populations will be 9.3 billion people.

Food shortages that could manifest in the next 25 years.

The consequences of that is unimaginable.

Civil wars will unfold across the world once there is food shortage.

What we are facing now is soil extinction.

Why is soil becoming extinct?

Where is it going away? What is happening to our soil?

We must understand if you add organic content to sand, sand will turn into soil.

If you remove all organic content from the soil, soil will become sand.

In normal agricultural soil, the minimum organic content should be between 3 to 6%.

The most minimum is 3%. At least this minimum to keep the soil alive, to keep the soil as living soil.

Last agricultural soil across the world, the depletion is so heavy in most countries more than 50% of the top soil is already gone in the last 100 years.

The nutrient levels have dropped significantly. The level of micronutrients you would get from your food in early 20th century to what you are getting from the same food now has dropped 90%.

If you ate one orange in 1920s, what you got from it now in 2020, if you have to get the same, you will have to eat eight oranges.

This is what we have done to our food.

Soil is the biggest ecosystem on the planet and so few people know anything about it.
