OPINION: For A Conscious Planet, Focus Should Move Towards Soil

Our body is essentially soil and water. It is an unfortunate reality that in the last two generations – approximately sixty to eighty years – we have seriously impacted the quality of water and soil upon this planet. There is enough scientific data to show that we have only eighty to hundred crops of agricultural soil on this planet left – a maximum of forty-five to sixty years, after which a serious food crisis on the planet is inevitable. The Real Ecological Issue I have been asked many times, “What are the three major things that the world should focus on to undo the damage that has been done to the environment in the last 100 years?" Through Conscious Planet, we are seeing how to move a large part of the electorate in all the democratic nations to a conscious approach of how we manage, rejuvenate and revitalize our soil.
