Nearly 71% of land is ploughed, ove 4.2% is paved. This has brought down photosynthesis, a huge process of carbon sequestration 1/n

@SadhguruJV at #SaveSoilAtCOP15
Before the phenomena of photosynthesis, the oxygen content in the atmosphere was about 1%. Now it is 21% but in the last 1000 years, photosynthesis has dropped by 85%

To fix this, one important thing is - agri land which human hands tend to on a daily basis - to put food there for the millions of micro organisms 3/n

Putting food for micro organisms in agricultural soil means organic content should rise. Not a single nation across the world has a minimum of 3%. So why can't we set this objective..

@SadhguruJV at #SaveSoilAtCOP15
The most important thing is we as a generation of people, keep the soil alive for future generations. First of all, to recognise soil as a living entity. More than 85% nations on the planet still look at soil as an inert substance

If we do not change this attitude we cannot fix Soil.. an minimum of 3-6% for every nation adnd setting up an incentive process for farmers to get there.. is the way to go

3 levels of incentives to the farmers will roll back soil extinction
- Minimum 3% organic content
- Carbon sequestration happening based on the amount of organic content
- Food from x% organic content in Soil finds a different shelf in the market

There is enough science to tell us. Field contains 3% organic content, what are the micro nutrients which are present in the food, what are the health benefits, what are the preventive health benefits..

..what are the benefits for the nation in terms of man days gained, the less stress on the Healthcare system, happier and healthier people in the country, what it leads to in terms of productivity and creativity..

@SadhguruJV

..All this there is enough data, we just have to collate this
These 3 levels of incentive will start rolling back Soil extinction. 'Soil Extinction' because every year 27000 species in Soil are being lost.

At this rate, in another 30-35 years, we can talk as much as we want, but we will not be able to turn it around because we would have reached that point of no return

@SadhguruJV

But right now we have this challenge and also a privilege, that we are that generation.. if we act NOW, we can be that generation we turned back from the brink of a disaster. I'd like to see that all of us strive for this

In this complex issues and complex solutions, implementation becomes a huge challenge because implementation has to happen on the land. And land is not managed by scientists, land is managed by farmers.

So it is extremely important it is a single point agenda, an incentive based agenda. If Inspiration, Incentives and Disincentives after a certain period of time is the way forward..

"this is my appeal to everyone of you because I dont want this COP15 to end as one more convention with more paper and more paper
This must end with concrete action, and action in such a way that it is implementable"..

"..It is implementable and we will see a distinct change in the coming few years. Thank you very much for having me here"

Wow, amazing solution proposed by @SadhguruJV ji..so simplified yet can turn around the situation for the better. Pranam
