The global campaign
Sadhguru initiated the Save Soil campaign on a global scale on March 21 this year and called it soil erosion. The death of fertile soil across the planet will endanger the human species, and hence the campaign to save the soil has been kick-started. Sadhguru travelled on a motorbike to 27 countries covering 30,000 km in 100 days, culminating the ride at Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu.
