27 thousand microorganisms die every year due to various reasons including chemical fertilizers. We get nutritious food through the microorganisms in the soil. The nutrient that was in one orange that our grandfather ate is now available only if we eat eight oranges. Soil fertility can be increased through the cultivation of trees and animal wastes. People need to be aware of this. It is necessary to legislate accordingly.
On the 22nd, in many districts of Tamil Nadu including Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai and Pondicherry on April 22, the program ‘Stay in touch with the soil’ is to be held. In this, we are going to create awareness about soil resource conservation. Isha founder Satguru, who has been urging the world community to enact laws to protect soil fertility, has launched an international environmental movement called ‘Save the Soil’ and has toured 27 countries on motorcycles, he said.
