Have you seen the movie 'Interstellar'? Cool movie, right. How would you like to be in that movie forever but just on that earth where nothing grows but only corns?
This will be our exact situation after 50 to 55 years if we keep on doing what we are doing and you know what I'm talking about.
Industrialization, desertification, soil erosion, fertilizers, pesticides, chemicals...
We are destroying the very thing that keeps us alive in innumerable ways. We are killing our future generations. The very kids you love will starve to death and you won't be able to stop it.

A handful of soil contains 8 to 10 billion micro-organisms. Human has come from humus. We are living soil.
In the previous 25-30 years, 80% of insect biomass has become lost. Disappeared. There will be 30% less food in the next 20 years.
And when this happens, people with the greatest hunger and the biggest guns will kill the healthy ones to live. The poor will kill the rich for food and the rich will die.
Soil needs to have at least 3% organic content to be agriculturable. But In India, for example, 62% of the soil has less than 0.5% organic content in it.

Soil is ploughed or paved to 9 or 12 inches of depth below and left open to dry (die). Land needs to be covered under tree shade so that it doesn't become dry. It needs to have those dead yellow leaves on top of it to cover it in the sunlight, not to be swept off in the gardens you play around. Land needs to be below grasses, trees, herbs, bushes to have the organic content which keeps it alive.

What can you do?
You can spread the awareness. You can make others conscious. Like I did to you. It is you who has to spread the message. On social media, casual talks, school lunchtime, work lunchtime, it is YOU who has to make them aware. So that they demand the soil we all need.
You ask, how will spreading help?
Well, in democracies the only currency that runs is numbers. When the governments will see millions of people demanding the same thing, they will address it in their manifestos so that the win the elections. They will bring us policies to revitalize soil and that is exactly what we need.
