Soil is the basis of our lives. But...Agriculture, deforestation, and other factors have degraded and eroded topsoil at alarming rates. Globally, 52% of agricultural land is already degraded.

Magic Of Soil
“The Only Magic Material that Turns Death into Life.”
– SADHGURU
The Save Soil movement is about bringing humanity together to keep the magic of soil alive.
THE SOIL SONG
Most of us are familiar with words and concepts such as Climate Change, Carbon Emissions, Air Pollution and Water Scarcity, but very few have focused attention on Soil. For millennia, life on earth has been sustained by a thin layer of fertile soil on the earth's crust.
But...
What exactly is soil and what does it do?
LET US EXPLORE THROUGH A QUIZ BELOW.

Soil: A holistic solution
Almost every major ecological crisis is, to some degree or form, a consequence or symptom of the degradation of soil. Similarly, almost every environmental or environment-related pain point can be addressed by creating healthy soil.
It is, in fact, a fallacy to think we can address any one aspect of our environment without addressing the whole, because no aspect of the ecosystem functions in isolation. No solution is complete until we become conscious that life is one single complex phenomenon, all of which is happening in unison. In many ways, Soil is the underlying platform upon which life springs forth. If we fix soil, we have the best chance of fixing the whole.
Oh Soil
The fragrance of the soil
Somehow is more tenderness to me
than the fancy fragrance of the flower
The strength and sensitivity of life
held in the soil
lets off waves of passion of a
different sort.
Passion not of a person
but of my species
that has gone insensitive
to all that nurtures it
and absorbs it at its end.
As I walk barefoot, I break down
with Passions so profound
that it defies all descriptions.
Oh' Soil, My life
POEM BY SADHGURU
2018 - Save River - Ride in India - Sadhguru launched Rally for Rivers on September 3, 2017 to revitalize India's rapidly depleting river, drove 9,300 kilometers in thirty days. During that time, spoke at 142 events along the way and gave over 180 interviews.
While Rally for Rivers was an awareness project to change the law, Waghari was a hands-on project. Cauvery Calling was in between. In scope, Cauvery Calling was much larger than Waghari because in Cauvery Calling, it was an exercise between the government, the farmers and people.

Sadhguru bats for one trillion trees campaign at WEF 2020 summit.

In a bid to revitalise the river, the Sadhguru's Cauvery Calling project aims to support farmers to plant 242 crore trees through agroforestry.
