Soil, what it means for us!!!

There was a time when around the world, people would discuss the weather when they had nothing to do. But these days, no one discusses the weather and soil anymore. Wherever you go, from your grandmothers to your grandchildren, everyone talks only about the economy. It has become the main theme in everyone’s conversation.

We are turning soil into sand because there is no organic material anymore – there are no leaves and animal waste.

Economy is a more complicated version of our survival process. Simple survival means to eat, sleep, reproduce and die one day. This has been made super-complicated now. I am not against it, but people think economy is today’s concern and ecology is tomorrow’s concern. This idea has to change.

Our life is wonderful not because of the fluctuations of the stock market or the percentage of growth points happening in a particular society or nation. Our life is wonderful because we are eating nutritious food, drinking clean water and breathing pure air. This has been completely forgotten.

Poison everywhere

Today, the food we eat is full of chemicals. The water we drink is full of poison. And of course, the air is also poisoned. I believe the air will be purified in the next ten to fifteen years because of technology. There is a whole movement happening in that direction. But soil and water are the big problem.

Soil is where live evolves. It is something that most people ignore in terms of ecology. The damage we have caused to the soil on the planet is tremendous. Other things, like the ice melting somewhere, may be visible, but the damage we have caused to it is most dangerous.

Real dangers of fertilizers.

In a temperate climate, fertilizer that you put into the soil will stay for up to nine to twelve years. But in a tropical climate, it will not stay for more than three to four months. We got this idea from somewhere that we can grow food in some way other than the organic way. It is kind of unbelievable. Is there some way to grow food other than the organic way? There simply isn’t. The only way you can preserve it is by having animal waste and vegetable waste go back into the soil. This is the only way you can save the land in the long-term.

Fix the soil Fix Everything.

If we fix the soil, the water is fixed, the air is fixed and everything is fixed. It must be rich and on because this body is the same soil. The greatest legacy we can leave for our children is an environment of rich soil and water. Only in preserving the quality of the soil, the quality of the planet and life will endure.

If we take concrete action in the next five to ten years, then in the next twenty-five to thirty years, we could turn the soil around quite reasonably. But if we wait and take action after fifty years, it will take hundred to hundred-and-fifty years to turn it around. That means four to five generations will go through terrible states of life because the soil is in a bad condition.
