Food famine; Civil war breaks out! Awareness in 22 to protect soil fertility

Chennai: ‘Severe food shortage in next generation due to soil fertility; That is why there is a risk of civil war ‘, warns the Soil Conservation Movement. Awareness programs are to be held across Tamil Nadu on World Earth Day, April 22 to create awareness about the ‘Let’s Save the Soil’ movement started by Isha founder Satguru. In this regard, the state field coordinator of the ‘Kaveri Kookural’ movement, Tamilmaran gave an interview: The declining soil fertility in the world, will pose a great danger to the next generation. Many people think that the environment is ozone and carbon dioxide. Compared to the fertility of the soil that existed 100 years ago, the fertility is only 10 percent now. Will decrease further in the coming 2045; World population will increase from 700 crore to 900 crore. Thus there is a risk of famine and civil war.

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.
