Fruit trees have been cultivated for thousands of years in this region alongside crops. Multicropping, a traditional farming practice, not only ensured a balanced diversified diet for the community but also richness of soil and farmer prosperity. Wonderful that thousands of farmers are investing themselves in reviving this tradition. Congratulations & Best wishes to everyone striving to bring economic and ecological prosperity to Bharat. Blessings. -Sg #CauveryCalling #SaveSoil @cpsavesoil
We are a part of the environment - changing ourselves is changing the environment. Saving the environment is also about saving ourselves. On this Environment Day, let us understand the core connect between what we call as Life and what we call as Environment: this is a Living Planet. Let's nourish it to be alive and thriving as that is the basis of our lives. -Sg #WorldEnvironmentDay @UNEP
Thiru Valluvan and tens of thousands of farmers like him in the Cauvery river basin have embraced tree-based agriculture which is primarily an economic model for long-term farmer prosperity, which also offers significant ecological benefits. It enriches soil, optimizes land and water resources, minimizes dependence on chemical-based fertilizers and cools the planet. Congratulations to Thiru Valluvan for creating economic & ecological wealth. Blessings. -Sg #CauveryCalling #SaveSoil @UNCCD@FAO

A welcome change. Should lead to better understanding and wider acceptance of tree-based farming. For every acre of agricultural land, there must be at least two bovine animals. When soil is enriched with tree litter and animal waste, it will decrease dependence on chemical-based fertilizers, reduce input cost and enhance crop health & farmer income. -Sg

It is the 15-20 inches of top soil that is nourishing every Life on this planet. This is the most miraculous Life-nourishing system, not just on this planet but in the known Universe. Enriching the soil is the most important work for us right now because Life can only be rich when the land is rich. Wonderful to note CSIS care and concern for the wellbeing of future generations. #SaveSoil. Let’s make it happen. -Sg

Agricultural lands constitute the largest land area; placing them under green shade is critical to cooling the land. Tree-based agriculture is not only among the simplest ways to mitigate ecological impact of global warming, it has proven to tremendously boost farmer income & is the way forward for ecological and economic sustainability. Let’s make it happen. -Sg @PMOIndia@AgriGoI@CpSavesoil #CauveryCalling #SaveSoil
Minimal, judicious use of chemicals can be supportive to soil health; indiscriminate chemical use will put our soils on life-support. Most important to keep the soil Alive with organic content for healthier yields, to enhance farmer economy and for ecological stability. #SaveSoil. Let’s make it happen. -Sg
The tree is the insurance for the farmer. If there are trees on the farm, their life is insured. It is time to bring back tree-based agriculture and in turn liveliness to our soil. There are over 460 million farmers in the country. If the nation has to thrive, our farmers have to thrive. I am not talking about liberalizing agriculture, we must liberate agriculture. –Sg #CauveryCalling @ChouhanShivraj@AgriGoI@cpsavesoil
It is heartwarming to see that our farmers are embracing tree-based agriculture on a massive scale in the Cauvery river basin. A gathering of over 10,000 farmers is an indication of the growing large-scale acceptance of this model which has been proven to enrich both farmer economy and the soil. Farming should be liberated from all rules to encourage farmers to grow whatever earns them maximum profit. It is only in making farming lucrative that Bharat can truly thrive. Congratulations to all farmers and everyone involved in the movement to rejuvenate River Cauvery. Blessings. -Sg #CauveryCalling #SaveSoil @ChouhanShivraj@AgriGoI@cpsavesoil

Wonderful that the US Department of Health and Human Services has acted swiftly to implement the recommendations of the MAHA report. Supporting farmers through incentive-based policies to restore soil health is among the most effective ways to ensure future generations enjoy physical and mental wellbeing. This investment in regenerative agriculture has the potential to become a gamechanger for soil health, human health and socioeconomic health of the United States. Congratulations and best wishes to Secretary RFK Jr. & his team. -Sg #SaveSoil
It is wonderful that today Soil health is being recognized as the primary driver of ecological health. Several governments, farmers, scientists, ordinary citizens, industry and numerous organizations have embraced the Save Soil movement to ensure their Voice is heard above the noise. This is our best opportunity to unite in Action for what unifies us. On this World Soil Day, may every nation commit to protecting its only true wealth - its agricultural soil. #SaveSoil. Let’s make it happen. -Sg @IUCN@UNCCDcso@UNCCD@FAO
In Tamil culture, we refer to soil as Thaai Mann, or Mother Soil. Very apt that Nat Geo has chosen to profile a woman farmer for her pioneering work to Save Soil. Congratulations, Shyamala Gunasekaran, on this wonderful recognition of your efforts and success! Without rich soil, there is no rich life. May many more farmers be inspired by your commitment. Blessings. - Sg @cpsavesoil
