@balachundhar @BIDMChealth @BIDMCAnesthesia @HMSOsherCenter @ishafoundation @IshaUSA Many questions that I couldn’t find answers to after going through numerous books & articles - I found them in programs designed by @SadhguruJV which enhanced my perception & empowered me in all aspects! Super excited to see this confluence of leaders & hear their insights! 🙌

[Dr. Bala Subramaniam @balachundhar]

This is your chance to hear entirely new concepts in consciousness science and spirituality.

Don't miss this groundbreaking conference on October 10-11 uniting leading scientists, scholars, spiritual leaders, and changemakers. Join us in person at Joseph B. Martin Conference Center in Boston, MA or watch live online.

Explore topics ranging from brain dynamics, mental health and psychedelics to ancient wisdom, physics and space exploration featuring speakers such as:

Sadhguru - @ishafoundation

Dr. Anita Goel - @harvardmed, @MIT

Commander Sunita Williams - @NASA

Tickets are limited and the conference is just 35 days away. Secure your spot now: https://t.co/wnt6gRhRRT

Lack of biodiversity severely limits the potential of any cropping system and increases disease and pest problems. A diverse and fully functioning soil food web provides for nutrient, energy, and water cycling that allows a soil to express its full potential. #SaveSoil

[Prathyusha @Prathy_D]

Farmers can save money on fuel & labor by decreasing tillage. Improving nutrient cycling allows farmers to potentially reduce the amount of supplemental nutrients required to maintain yields, further reducing input costs. #SaveSoil #SoilforClimateAction #SaveSoilFixClimateChange

[Prathyusha @Prathy_D]

The minerals and microbes in soil are responsible for filtering, buffering, degrading, immobilizing, and detoxifying organic & inorganic materials, including industrial & municipal by-products and atmospheric deposits. #SaveSoil #SoilforClimateAction #SaveSoilFixClimateChange

[Prathyusha @Prathy_D]

Overfertilization causes soil to become acidic, negatively affecting crop production. Reducing the use of agrochemicals is essential to protecting food systems. #SaveSoil #SoilforClimateAction #SaveSoilFixClimateChange

[Prathyusha @Prathy_D]

The rates of soil erosion & the loss of soil nutrients as well as the top soil are highly contributed by overgrazing. Overgrazing destroys surface crop cover and breaks down soil particles, increasing the rates of soil erosion. #SaveSoil

[Prathyusha @Prathy_D]

Most agricultural practices involving the use of fertilizers and pesticides often entail misuse or excessive application, thereby contributing to the killing of soil’s beneficial bacteria and other microorganisms that help in soil formation. #SaveSoil #SoilforClimateAction

[Prathyusha @Prathy_D]

Soil erosion can cause significant environmental impacts through runoff transported by agricultural drains & waterways. This can lead to water quality issues such as increased water cloudiness, sedimentation, & accumulation of nutrients, pesticides, & pathogens. #SaveSoil

The UK is 30 to 40 years away from “the fundamental eradication of soil fertility” in parts of the country. #SaveSoil #SoilforClimateAction #SaveSoilFixClimateChange

[Prathyusha @Prathy_D]

Britain has only 100 harvests left in its farm soil as scientists warn of a growing 'agricultural crisis'. #SaveSoil #SoilforClimateAction #SaveSoilFixClimateChange

[Prathyusha @Prathy_D]

Multiple forms of land degradation that are currently impacting agricultural regions all over the world pose a threat to global food security. #SaveSoil #SoilforClimateAction #SaveSoilFixClimateChange

[Prathyusha @Prathy_D]

When land quality deteriorates, the ground loses some of its capacity to absorb water. More water (perhaps laden with sediments, which exacerbate the problem) will flow into streams, rivers, & other water bodies, increasing the risk of flooding. #SaveSoil

[Prathyusha @Prathy_D]

Soil degradation has far-reaching negative consequences, including landslides, flooding, desertification, water contamination, and a drop in food production worldwide. Meanwhile, the agriculture sector faces a variety of direct implications daily. #SaveSoil

[Prathyusha @Prathy_D]

Unfavorable changes in soil chemistry (caused, particularly, by synthetic fertilizers and pesticides) diminish plant nutrition: beneficial microbes and humus content decline; and the pH of the ground shifts. #SaveSoil #SoilforClimateAction #SaveSoilFixClimateChange

[Prathyusha @Prathy_D]

Decreased microbial activity due to destructive biochemical reactions, especially in bare/unprotected earth, reduces yields and makes land less amenable to crop cultivation. #SaveSoil #SoilforClimateAction #SaveSoilFixClimateChange

[Prathyusha @Prathy_D]

Once disturbed beyond a critical level, soils are at risk of entering a downward spiral toward an alternative, degraded state, characterized by a loss of soil functions and services including the ability to provide food for humanity and sustain human life on earth. #SaveSoil

[Prathyusha @Prathy_D]

Healthy soils provide essential ecosystem services such as food production and can help us achieve several Sustainable Development Goals, including zero hunger, clean water, sanitation, life on land, flood regulation, and conservation of biodiversity. #SaveSoil

[Prathyusha @Prathy_D]

Healthy soils have a degree of resilience that allows them to maintain structure and function in the face of repeated disturbance, including temperature perturbation, compaction, and pollution. #SaveSoil #SoilforClimateAction #SaveSoilFixClimateChange
