We are losing our soil

Since independence, India has lost a large percentage of its natural forest - because of which, I would say, less than 20% of rainfall is being held in the soil.

When I was younger, I rafted down Cauvery on four truck tubes and twelve sticks of bamboo for 163km over a period of 12-13 days. What I saw was that except for the first 30-35km, there is no vegetation anywhere along its banks.

A different approach to agriculture

India has a long history of farming over thousands of years. But now, 60% of India’s 160 million hectares of arable land is considered 'distressed soil'. This means that in 30 years’ time, nearly 60% of India's arable land will become uncultivable.
