Absolute honour & privilege to call on @SadhguruJV at @ishafoundation Coimbatore & seek his advice & blessings in a long interaction with him ๐. It was an added coincidence that the pandits from Kashi were there too to perform the Saptarshi arati & Rudrabhishekam. Blessed ๐
Healthy soil is the bridge between #air ๐ฌ๏ธ and water ๐ง that keeps our planet in balance! ๐
Let's make sure we're keeping this essential interface healthy for the benefit of the #Environment! #SoilHealth#SaveSoil

Soil degradation causes millions to migrate every year, and the UN has warned of a dangerous decline in food production over the next 30 years, with Earthโs topsoil at risk by 2050. ๐๐จ
As fertile lands turn barren, communities are uprooted, setting the stage for mass migration and conflict. Our goal is to protect the soil, boost soil organic matter, and empower communities to flourish where they are. ๐ฑ๐พ๐ช

Light symbolizes awareness, enlightenment, consciousness and ultimate liberation. May this #KarthigaiDeepam be more than symbolic for you. When you light a lamp, may it signify your commitment to move from darkness to multiplying the Light in your life. Blessings. -Sg

Legumes are known to be a popular choice of plants for crop rotation as they are delicious and nutritious to consume and greatly benefit the soil. From lentils to chickpeas, French beans to sweet peas, peanuts to soybeans, the family of legumes is vast and varied. Legumes fix nitrogen and carbon from the air into the soil, making it available for use by other plants and reducing the need to depend on artificial fertilizers. This is great for soil fertility and helps reduce greenhouse gasses in the air.

Are you ready to plant clover?
Nitrogen is "fixed" in clovers through a symbiotic relationship with Rhizobium bacteria that infects the plant's roots. The plant provides energy for the bacteria, and bacteria provide the "machinery" necessary to convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form available to plants.
Clover adds about 55โ170 kg per hectare (about 50โ150 pounds per acre) of nitrogen to the soil and increases the availability of other nutrients for following crops.
Fixing nitrogen and carbon is not only good for soil health but also reduces greenhouse gasses that contribute to climate change.

Increasing food production using less water is one of the great challenges of our times.
We need to make water use in agriculture more efficient, productive & environmentally friendly.

Discover the Hidden World Beneath Your Feet!
Beneath the surface lies a fascinating universe waiting to be explored. Soil is a vibrant mix of air, water, minerals, organic matter, and a multitude of creatures. It's a bustling hub of life, surpassing any other place on our planet!
Let's turn this into an engaging activity! Parents, venture out into the garden or park with your children and embark on an Earth buddy scavenger hunt. The next time you're outdoors with your little ones, seek out a patch of soil and see if you can spot these treasures of nature. Take photos, tag @cpsavesoil and share your discoveries with us!

As part of creating a Swachh Bharat, volunteers from the Isha Yoga Center visited villages around the Center on October 1 to clean up, and also spread awareness among the villagers about the importance of keeping our surroundings clean and hygienic.
Swachh Bharat or "Clean India" in English, is an effort by the government, civil society organizations and concerned citizens to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the nation, through awareness sessions, voluntary cleaning activities and other initiatives.

Today, courtesy of Professor Pandi Zdruli @CIHEAMBari we learned about the concerning decline in the number of soil and agriculture professionals, underscoring the importance of involving more young minds in these fields. He also talked about the frequent disconnect between scientific research and its accessibility to the general public. On the bright side, #SaveSoil and #Soils4Med are actively addressing both challenges and Soil revitalization has gained prominence as a critical concern to the @EU_Commission who recognize it as one of the top priorities in its EU Missions.
#SaveSoil is part of the Advisory and Outreach Committee of Soils4Med, a project funded by the @PrimaProgram (Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area) to harmonize and make soil data available for soil health monitoring and decision-making in the Mediterranean region.

Mother Cauvery does not know which state we belong to but she is suffering with depletion and drying up during the summer months. Bringing large scale tree based agriculture and vegetating the 83,000 sq kms of Cauvery basin is the only way Cauvery will flow 12 months of the year in abundance. Let us strengthen and enhance Mother Cauvery rather than fighting over depleted waters. Let wisdom prevail. -Sg #CauveryCalling @siddaramaiah@mkstalin@CMOTamilnadu@CMofKarnataka
