cience first of all,I receive your question when I see your videos not exactly like this, when you're in to this world within the world I was in OSC I was resigning I'm so happy for that and thank you only this is a countryತುತ್ಟುಕಾರ೜ಿಲ್ಟಂದುದಮುತ್ಟಾತ್ಲಿಲೆಳುಕುಗೆದುಗಾಕೆಮ್​ A developing country simply means there are so many things that are yet to be done. In this country, youth complaining about, I have no employment is a crime if you ask me. Because there is so much to be done if you open your eyes and see. You can pick up any one of them and make it your part of your life. But people are unfortunately gone through education system and a mental attitude may be family situations which has made them believe they have to do some nine to five sitting in the office kind of work. Exactly. There is seen a developed country, it's very difficult to find an opportunity. Here there is so much to be done. You're right now here there's garbage on this field. You can make a business out of this. You can do a mummy compost out of this. Yes, whatever. Don't name it. I'm saying you can make so many things out of it. Exactly. With every little thing you can do because here a developing country means a lot needs to be done. Exactly. So it's the youth who have to take it up and do it. If they don't know what to do, they can consult. They can, you know, seek advice from other people. But they should not feel helpless, I don't have a job. That made, inspired me also. And Sadhguru, we all know that the population is increasing and the availability of agriculture land is decreasing. So what is the future prospects of agriculture in India and what is the role of youth in that? Well, this increasing population we must curtail for sure. Yeah. So this is in the hands of the young people that they need to make sure that the population doesn't go beyond limits because there is only that much population the land can take. But is it a concern that we won't be able to grow enough food for 1.5 billion people? No. We just have to improve the methods of cultivation and how we do agriculture. Right now this is still yet to be understood by people that even this agroforestry can be a tremendous means to increase food production. It is not necessary to be using so much land to grow just food. Exactly. If you ask me if you use one thing substantial you know improvement of soil quality if we do that by increasing the organic content and also bring in some scientific new methods which are there if you bring in. With one-third of the land that we are using right now for agriculture we can grow our food. And with one-third of the human resource involved or one-fifth of the human resource involved we can bring make all the food that we need for 1.5 billion people. I am talking about 1.5 is 2030. Okay. We can produce that much food. Exactly. There is really no problem. The problem is agriculture is a very unguided missile. Exactly. Exactly. When I say unguided missile there is no one guidance to it there is no understanding of it. People are doing things traditionally by their own little wisdom which has worked well for the country for some time but now if you want to take really forward strides in revolutionizing agricultural process if you want to revolutionize Indian farmers life as such then it's very important that we... one thing is enrich the soil which is the vital thing and the next thing is to bring modern methodologies through which there is enough technology, there is enough science in our agriculture university. Right here... I am a product of GKVK. GKVK is there. Believe me everything you want to know is there. Yes. How to get it to the land this is the whole thing. So as a part of this we are also looking how we can educate the farmer yesterday I was talking at the Mandya even I was just telling them see you are growing rice do you thinking I am rice farmer, rice farmer stagnant pools of water everywhere very easily you can grow trees and rice together your yield will improve many fold and your cost will come down dramatically all this can be done. Yes. So these methods have to go to the farmer so we will see what we can do in the next coming 2-3 years this education program we will run across these two states in the Kaveri basin and we are also somebody is offering 120 acres of land near Bangalore we want to set up a training center super. and see how to train all of you should participate. Absolutely sir and to add up for this like I done my research on a topic called as yield gap and constraints in maize there is an nearly 30-40% of yield gap means the potential yield and what's the actual yield farmers are taking is there is so much of gap I have written a thesis on that and I have made few objectives and have done with that. That is true with every grain. Yes. Not just maize. Yes. But we have to stick for one particular for our thesis because we got only 2 years to complete our masters that is the point. But I am saying it is across the board true in India. Yes. Indian agriculture everywhere there is yield gap. Exactly. To add on like you are telling to go for agroforestry I am doing this agroforestry in my own farm. What it means I am not trying to earn a PhD but I simply say it in people's face so they don't like it. Nothing like that. Sir Guru I am accepting it we have done masters in agriculture what you are speaking is science not like some other things it is absolutely science. Sir Guru I am following this agroforestry where we are I have planted few tamarind and jamun plants they are 3 years old plants saplings from down the lane 3 years down the lane I will be earning minimum 10 lakhs from 5 acres of piece of land with my vegetable production because I gave distance of 15 feet from plant to plant and 20 feet from row to row in between I am going for tomato after tomato I am going for carrot so this is an lucrative business to go for agroforestry and my next It is not rocket science it just needs some sensible approach Yes sir. And sir Guru like from last few decades like 3 or 4 decades we talk like there is over use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides but the fact is that our agriculture university recommended farmers to use so much of fertilizers and pesticides but now we are blaming or pointing out that the soil is salty and all how correct it is or what is your opinion on this See I was in Russia there is a very major phosphate mines there they wanted to take me there but somehow due to schedules I couldn't make it So the owners of this work really make the magnets of phosphate it is one of the biggest phosphate mines in the world since it is very interesting to see a phosphate mine they will just dug into the mountain So they were saying see in India you are not using enough fertilizer Okay I said see if we are putting natural phosphate into the land it's alright to some extent Okay but if you use salts minus the organic content then you are completely destroying the land because essentially the wealth of the soil is in its micro-organisms yes yes yes and as I have repeatedly said everywhere southern India has a fortune that one teaspoon full of soil if you take there are anywhere between 10,000 to 50,000 species of microbes and in one teaspoon full there are more microbes than the number of people on this planet So it's a phenomenal soil So in this soil if you put salt what's happening is salt will cause a certain osmosis process where it will suck out all the water from the living cells So this is just killing everything We must understand the real soil is in its life not just in the material it is the life that is there which makes everything grow Exactly the microbes Exactly So how not to kill them is what we should see We have a meal In our meal we add little salt but suppose we serve you just a salt heap as meal how do you eat it That's what we are doing Yes Little bit of salt is okay because with agriculture the salt and mineral structures get little weakened unless you keep it really humus rich which may be difficult in all farms to do So little addition like you add salt for taste you must add salt for little what is missing people are taking some be complex tablets or vitamin tablets whatever but they can't live on it they need to eat good food and little bit of boost So fertilizer should be that little bit of boost not the mainstay of farming but unfortunately I think we've gone that way I must say this this may sound little whatever but I must say this was more a commercial enterprise than a scientific input it is commerce which pushed this Okay But Sadhguru from past few years or like there is a substantial amount of increase in the flora and fauna and there is increase in green cover and all but people are thinking still there isn't for industrialization we are cutting the forest and all what is your opinion on this Nobody is cutting the forest for industrialization that time is over See that is what it is it has become a fashion that environment means we must pick up somebody and beat them Exactly That's not the way to address environment It is as I have repeatedly said you have to make sure whatever environment projects we do are economically sensible otherwise they won't last anyway if you want to make a living out of protesting on the streets it's okay but if you want to find a solution that's not the way it has to have an economic angle to From what data I have they say only 1% of the land in India is occupied by industry about 6% by townships and cities and whatever 80% is occupied by agriculture So that's where we need to make the change because 80% of the land is there rest of it part of it is in the government hands forest this and that but 80% is in the hands of agriculture is more farmers that is where we need to bring about the change if we really want to see some genuine change Yes, sir and my one more question like every time if there is a right then there will be sympathy and everyone try to use his name like either the political parties or any other but no one comes with a precise solution so if you do this it will benefit if you don't do this it will help economic plan work out like what you are doing now a farmer is not a beggar he doesn't want to be a beggar he doesn't need doles because he is in desperate condition he may ask sometimes but what he needs is dignity what he needs is economic opportunity what he needs is a lucrative way of doing farming so that's what we need to give him he is not a beggar to come and beg from the government or from anybody unfortunately we pushed him to that level thanks and my other question is like my personal question this one is I was a common man before entering into reality show now you become what no no no not like that in terms of people recognize me and so much of love or they they add over me something like that okay but 5 to 10 percent of people will be commenting are trying to pull how to handle this don't know how to handle them they don't have a grip on your legs okay dogs pleasure to bark that's all right if you say dogs should not bark what is this they will bark it's okay as long as you know you must know in the deepest recesses of your heart you must be clear that you are doing what according to your intelligence you're doing the best you can for your own well-being and everybody's well-being if you're doing that it's okay commentaries they will give we can listen to them because there may be some truth sometimes there may be some truth please listen to all the negative commentary but it is not necessary they must decide the direction of your life no exciting exciting and thank you Satguru thank you for giving me this opportunity I'm blessed I'm blessed
