Did you know that 52% of agricultural soils are already degraded?

We are extremely proud that we will have with us Sadhguru and Erik Solheim at our Save Soil debate at Arendalsuka. 

Save Soil is a global movement launched by Sadhguru, 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.

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.

Erik asked Sadhguru the following:

• Congratulations on creating the world’s largest peoples’ movement! We saw the incredible change that has come about through these 100 days of the Save Soil Movement. What is the next step?

• How can we persuade governments to work towards a policy change?

• There was hardly any conversation about soil until you started speaking about it and now I can see that there are a lot of people & organizations talking about this. You almost staked your life in making it happen. Do you think you have achieved what you set out for?
