 Wunderschönen guten Abend, liebe Gäste, liebe Freunde, herzlich willkommen zu einem ganz, ganz besonderen Abend hier in Berlin. Ein Abend, auf den wir uns alle lange gefreut haben, eigentlich glaube für uns alle ganz, ganz besonderer Moment. Und ich sage es einfach einmal so, wenn wir uns heute Abend damit beschäftigen wollen, dass wir uns mit dem Boden mehr auseinandersetzen müssen. Dass wir den Boden retten wollen, dann ist das alleine das. Eine so wunderbare Nachricht, dass wir heute Abend so viele Menschen sind. Fast 2.000 Berlinerinnen und Berliner aus ganz Deutschland, aus ganz Europa angereist. Herzlich willkommen zu SAFE SOLT! Schön, dass ihr da seid! Mein Name ist Matthias Killing, ich darf heute durch den Abend führen, aber ich möchte gar nicht viele Worte machen, hier zu beginnen. Wir warten natürlich alle auf das, was Satguru uns zu sagen hat, was er im Gespräch mit Tony Garn gleich hier auf der Bühne sagen wird. Und wir freuen uns auf einen Professor des Instituts für Klimaforschung in Potsdam, auch er wird sich mit diesem Thema, wie wir alle etwas tun können auseinandersetzen. Und heute Abend haben wir alle hoffentlich mehr Erkenntnisse als vor diesem Abend. Das ist ein historischer Moment und es ist ein historischer Abend auch für diese Stadt, für Berlin. Das Satguru hier ist, ich glaube alleine das ist noch einmal, einen riesengroßen Applaus. Welcome to Berlin, Satguru, it's such a pleasure to have you here. So we are so happy. Und das ist eigentlich eine ganz schöne Idee. Ihr winkt gerade alle, ihr winkt gerade alle. Wenn wir jetzt gleich nochmal das Bild zeigen, vielleicht können wir alle mal gemeinsam winken. Wenn ihr alle mal winkt, weil ihr euch freut, dass ihr gemeinsam hier seid. Heute ab mit Hallo Berlin! Okay, das ist auch schön, oder? So kann man aber für mich was ein wunderschönes Bild, wie ihr alle gesungen habt. Es gibt ein ganz ganz großes, ein wunderschönes Sprichwort für diesen heutigen Abend und das wollen wir gemeinsam einmal hier, ich will nicht sagen, er arbeitet, ich glaube das kriegen wir alle hin. Ich sage, es geht um den Body, das Sprichwort lautet My Body, Your Body, Body, Soil. Das heißt, ich werde sagen My, ihr sagt Body. Ich sage Jo, ihr sagt Body und dann sage ich Body und ihr sagt Soil. Wollen wir das gemeinsam einmal machen? Amsterdam, Amsterdam hat da vorgelegt. Ich habe das Video gesehen, ich glaube das kriegen wir aber noch besser hin. Hier in Berlin ist eine große Tournee, auf der Satguru ist, eine Reise, über die wir gleich sprechen werden, aber erst einmal dieser Wahlspruch für den heutigen Abend. Ich sage My, your body. Ja, das ist klasse und genau diese Energie wünschen wir uns für den heutigen Abend für eine Reise, die eine besondere ist. 100 Tage, 100 Tage, 30.000 Kilometer auf dem Motorrad. Ist das nicht ein Wahnsinn, oder? Da geht das Winken wieder los. Ja, jetzt klappt's. Schaut mal hier, wunderbar. Warum sind wir hier? Warum seid ihr heute Abend hier? Weil wir eine Verantwortung haben. Weil jeder von uns eine Verantwortung hat für die Zukunft. Jeder von uns hat eine Verantwortung für die Zukunft unserer Kinder, unserer Enkelkinder, aber auch jeder hat eine Verantwortung für das hier und jetzt. Und während wir heute Abend, zwei Stunden lang miteinander sprechen, wenn wir diesen Abend genießen, in diesen zwei Stunden werden auf der gesamten Welt. Das ist eine unglaubliche Zahl, wie ich finde. 2.000 Fußballfelder nährstoffreicher Boden vernichtet in zwei Stunden. Wir müssen jetzt was tun. Wir müssen jetzt in Action gehen. Wir müssen jetzt darüber reden. Wir müssen die Botschaft verteilen und jeder von uns muss etwas tun. Leute, das ist die Verantwortung unserer Generation und ihr seid hier und ihr werdet dieser Verantwortung gerecht und dafür jetzt schon ein riesengroßes Dankeschön. Sonst werdet ihr nicht hier. Ich freue mich darüber, dass ihr da seid. Und jetzt möchte ich gerne, denn Bilder sprechen natürlich viel mehr als 1.000 Worte. Die Bilder sprechen lassen. Wir haben ein erstes kleines Video zur Einstimmung für diesen heutigen Abend vorbereitet. Dieser Abend, der uns hoffentlich alle für immer in Erinnerung bleiben wird. Ein Abend, auf den wir uns alle lange gefreut haben. Deswegen sage ich jetzt noch einmal mit euch gemeinsam. Mai! Ja! Body! Und dann Film ab. Darum geht es heute Abend. Wenn ihr alle organische Kontenten von der Soil entfernt, die Soil wird dann Sand. Normalerweise wird die Soil im Minimum der organischen Kontenten im Minimum 60%. Der größte Minimum ist die Sand. Um das Minimum zu halten, um die Soil zu lieben, um die Soil zu halten, um die Soil zu leben, ist ein Muss. Wenn man die Soil über die Welt betrifft, hat die Gemüse in den meisten Ländern mehr als 50% der Soil, in den vergangenen 100 Jahren, gesammelt. Die Neutronen-Livellen sind verblüfft. Die Leibung des Minimum-Kontenten, die im 20. Jahrhundert verblüfft hat, um die same Fülle zu arbeiten, hat jetzt 19% verblüfft. Und du hast in den 1920er Jahren eine Orange geblieben. Was hast du von mir getroffen? In 2020, wenn du die same Fülle hast, haben wir noch eine Orange getroffen. Das ist, was wir haben gemacht, für unsere Fülle. Soil ist der größte Eko des Monats. Und so zu dir, wenn du jetzt nichts übernimmst. Eine Fülle, eine Healthy Circle, probably contains more microbes than that of people on Earth. On the basis of destruction of microbial life, so the focus should be on seeing that land is in the shade as much as possible. Somewhere in shade, grasses, herbs, bushes, trees. Quantum land is launching safe soil movement to bring about positive change, to reasonably destroy it. For this purpose I am 65 and I am riding 50,000 kilometers. A lot of Monats are in Germany, 30,000 kilometers across 24 nations to actuate, support from the citizens to assure the government long term investments will be appreciated. So it is extremely important that soil innovation is constrained in the quality of every government on the planet. We must change the energy of the planet that soil is a wealth. A legacy we have received from previous generations and we have to pass it on in this soil for future generations. We are in the course of time if we do the right things now in the next 15 to 25 years we can significantly turn this situation around and regenerate the soil. But if we allow this to progress in the next 30 to 40 years after 40 years if we accomplish then it will take 150 to 200 years because that much loss from 20 Mr. Mars to 100 days the whole world can be written on the planet to talk soil. We must hear the word soil say soil everywhere to see that the energy of the planet is the most wide elastic of our life the soil. Each one of you should reach as many people as you can to make this happen many global leaders and influencers have already participated in this we are part of this and then we can have our chosen solution not on this keep it keep it say the soil we now we can see some next maybe let us make it happen let us make it happen was für ein einfacher Satz in dem so viel Verantwortung steckt und ich weiß nicht wie es euch geht ich habe jetzt während ich diesen Film gerade noch einmal gesehen habe viele viele Gedanken gehabt über Verantwortung ich habe aber einen Gedanken gehabt und den würde ich gerne mit euch teilen wir sind eine Gesellschaft geworden dass es zu selbstverständlich nimmt ich glaube das ist in den letzten Wochen während dieser fürchterliche Krieg in Europa herrscht auch noch einmal ganz ganz deutlich geworden dass wir Freiheit, dass wir Demokratie schätzen können und dass wir das Ganze mehr Ehren und mehr verteidigen müssen ich glaube das ist mittlerweile jedem klar geworden aber wir müssen auch den Boden ja wohl vielen Dank ich glaube das haben wir aber mittlerweile alle verstanden aber wer hat denn bitte wie oft darüber nachgedacht dass wir den Boden schätzen dass wir das schätzen auf dem wir laufen 95% unserer Ernährung stammt aus unserem Boden und nicht nur das was wir aus dem Boden essen sondern was die Tiere genauso essen und dann geht ja der Kreislauf ja los 95% das heißt wir müssen anfangen und zwar jetzt den Boden mehr zu schätzen deswegen der heutige Abend die Frage deswegen diese Reise von Sadgu und wir alle werden im Kleinen etwas dafür tun wir werden diese Botschaft weiter tragen indem wir es posten indem wir bei Social Media davon erzählen indem wir unseren Familien davon erzählen unseren Freunden davon erzählen die wiederum erzählen es weiter und wir alle tun vor allem auch eins wenn wir in die Natur gehen wir machen uns mehr Gedanken darüber den Boden, die Natur die ist zu schätzen ich glaube da können wir alle etwas tun und wir werden alle gemeinsam etwas tun Dankeschön dafür Sadgu auf Weltreise beeindruckende Zahlen ich sage sie noch einmal 30.000 km auf dem Motorrad das von anderen in 10 Jahren oder noch länger mit dem Motorrad er macht es in 100 Tagen es ist wirklich um die halbe Welt mit einem großartigen jetzt schon emotionalen Ziel in knapp 96 Tagen in Indien aber diese Reise und er hat es gerade selbst im Video und er wird es heute haben auch wieder gesagt hat eben diese Aufgabe diese Botschaft um die Welt zu tragen wie sahen seine letzten 14 Tage aus das ganze startete in der Karibik ging dann über London vor zwei Tagen nach Amsterdam und jetzt hier nach Berlin auch hier haben wir Bilder für euch vorbereitet die Reise von Sadgu das ist die Reise von den Osten die Karibik-Nationen sind für diese Zeit geblieben der Soil ist nicht ein separate Subjekt wir sind interessiert in Healthcare wir sind interessiert in Agriculture wir sind interessiert in die Welt die Zitizen von heute und der ungeborene Kind von morgen in der Soil in der Biodiversität das ist ein wichtiges Ding in unserer Leben es wird Zeit, wenn wir jetzt wenn wir die Politik bringen und es in den nächsten 12-15 Jahren implementieren können wir können eine significant Turnaround also dieses Memorandum des Unterstandes, das wir besitzen und es wird auch ein technisches System bringen zum Karibik-Nationen ist ein historischer Moment denn hier ist der erste Schritt die wir turnieren um die Soil-Krisis wo manche Leute estimieren dass, wenn wir nichts tun in 50 Jahren, dass wir keine Soil-Krisis machen die, forgive mein Ignorant ich weiß nicht, dass Soil so etwas ist passiert in der letzten 15 Jahren sind Sie die Gelegenheit, dass die Regierung in den letzten 2 Jahren etwas zu tun hat die letzten 2 Jahre in den letzten 30 Jahren dass sie die Soil-Krisis und die Soil-Krisis als politische Philosophie dass sie die Konsistenz der Cosmos und so weiter glauben so geht es dann auch manchmal also man muss sich das so vorstellen erst mal vielen Dank für den Applaus gerade für das Video der einen kleinen Teil nur gezeigt hat dieser Reise eigentlich sollte das Video noch etwas länger gehen, aber ihr habt es gehört es gab da das andere kleine technische Problem und das glaube ich ist wichtig wir alle haben einen Eindruck davon bekommen was passiert, was diese Reise ausgemacht hat in der Karibik gestartet über London nach Amsterdam und jetzt hier nach Berlin dann in 2 Tagen geht es weiter in Prakt die ganze Technik reist mit insofern, da glaube ich haben wir Verständnis das ist überhaupt kein Problem und wir sind ja alle vor allem auch wegen einer Geschichte heute Abend hier wir wollen Ihnen sehen gemeinsam im Gespräch mit einer wunderbaren Frau eines der ganz ganz großen Topmodels sie hat für alle großen Marken dieser Welt gearbeitet aber das was noch viel imposanter neben ihrer einzigartigen Karriere auf dem Laufsteg oder für die Fotos ist das ist vor allem ihr soziales, ihr gesellschaftliches Engagement seit 2014 ist die Botschafterin für Plan International sie hat dort eine große Kampagne begleitet da ging es um das Thema Rechte von Frauen, Rechte von Mädchen und dafür dass sie sich auch mittlerweile mit der Tony-Garn-Stiftung ganz persönlich wirklich in einem großartigen Ausmaß eigentlich freue mich sehr, dass sie zu uns kommt gemeinsam mit ihm sein Motorrad steht in der Garage er ist bereit für die Bühne und jetzt holen wir die beiden hier auf die Bühne Herzlich Willkommen, hier sind Tony-Garn und Sat Guro Herzlich Willkommen Danke Es ist eine große Erinnerung zu willkommen in Deutschland es ist so eine Erinnerung ich kann es nicht glauben, dass ich hier sitze ich habe das gestern asked also bearbe ich mich everyone zuerst würde ich sagen danke für euch, um diese unglaubliche Reise dieses sehr, sehr, sehr wichtiges Messen um unser Soil zu retten wir beginnen als Soil wir enden als Soil und wir sind in den Städten unseres Lebens ich war bewusst die Probleme um Soil durch einige Agrar-Kulturen ich würde sagen in New York das hat mich immer taught Monokulturen ist ein schlechtes Ding Biodiversity Farming ist so, so wichtig was ich nicht wusste und was mich so wichtig und so horrig ist die Frage zu dir ist wie ist es möglich zu essen unseres aber die nächste Generation Vitamin-Full, Nutrient-Full Healthy Nutrition Das ist ein schwerer Job wenn du in der Welt leben wenn du in einem Urban-Center es ist definitiv ein Herausforderung denn für das musst du in einer Farbe leben und dein eigenes Essen das ist definitiv nicht praktisch wo die Nutrient-Levels sehr deutlich kommen und Various Substitutes werden gesprochen Leute reden all kinds of other alternatives one alternative is of course popping pills and to what extent means I must tell you I was driving in Los Angeles just last month I see a 15 floor building that size hoarding 15 floor building size hoarding full building size hoarding only words on it is my favorite pharmacy I thought when did pharmacies become a favorite place to go next thing is I was looking for a board my favorite hospital my favorite cemetery somewhere these are all places we go to it's inevitable when you say a place is favorite that means you want to visit that place it's like a favorite restaurant a favorite holiday place favorite pharmacy, favorite hospital favorite cemetery no because these are places you go only when you must go not otherwise but what they mean by this is that today particularly in United States we are conscious that there is not enough nutrient in the food that they are consuming so everybody is popping dozens of pills healthy people I am not talking about sick people very healthy people are popping dozens of pills because micronutrients are missing today there is enough study to show various chronic ailments that we are suffering all the 26 Alphabets largely or partially could be because of nutrient deficiency there is substantial study to show that the amount of psychological mental illnesses that people are going through is also because of nutrient deficiency there is very significant studies in this direction now today you know all of you must know that about a year ago or maybe six months ago the WHO warned the world that we are heading towards a mental illness pandemic when we use the word pandemic what it means is that is if we sit in this hall if one person has got something we may all get it we are all susceptible that's a pandemic so when we talk about mental illness we are talking about a suicidal pandemic it is some of the studies hope this won't come true they are saying by 2015 up to two to five percent of the human populations could be aspiring to commit suicide last year in 2020 in Japan more people committed suicide than the number of people who died of the corona virus so we don't really need the virus so all these things happening one way or the other related to soil because who we are right now here is just a consequence of what's happening in the soil today everybody understands without the gut microbiome you cannot digest the food that you eat you have no assimilation of nutrients and this is the same with the soil also in the soil the same is true with the help of the microbiomes or the microbial activity without all those complex little life that is there plants cannot get its nutrients so if don't do this experiment it's very cruel but if you take a tree don't damage the entire tree just take off all the leaf from the tree it will try to sprout back take it off, take it off and it will grow to 18 months because only if the tree captures the carbon from the atmosphere converts into carbon sugar and pumps it down into the soil the microbes will give them food essentially if the tree runs out of cash this is the cash carbon sugar is the cash with which it buys its food if you deprive it off its money then it will die without nutrition so this green leaf is that important if we have to go back to the history of this because I see a lot of green shirts out here so this happened maybe scientists say approximately a billion years ago a very smart algae or a fungi one of them suddenly got a bright idea like you heard some cave man or woman generally they say it's a man okay but about who discovered the fire and learned how to cook their food with this fire maybe it was a woman but because she said fire to the man they said a cave man was on fire so whichever way some fifteen, twenty thousand or hundred thousand years ago somebody discovered fire how we could cook our food with fire since then the world has not been the same for all of us similarly this algae or fungi discovered how to cook its food with solar energy which is a perpetual energy from the sun so this phenomena of cooking their food is called photosynthesis and this is the most phenomenal thing that is happening on the planet we are all alive only because of that because before photosynthesis started the oxygen content in our atmosphere was just a shade over one percent today it is twenty one percent that's why we are all alive and all the complex life forms are capable of being alive on this planet only because of the oxygen content in the atmosphere but if you look back and see thousand years ago how much photosynthesis was happening on this planet and today how much photosynthesis is happening take a guess how much drop could have happened guess just guess couple hundred percent maybe couple of hundred percent unfortunately maybe not that much let's say a little over thirty percent eighty five percent drop okay that's horrible enough eighty five percent drop in photosynthesis has happened never before planet has been this bare all agricultural lands are bare urban lands are paved they are plowed these are paved this is the main problem so everywhere all this you know online scientists or let me call them WhatsApp scientists they read two messages and they become scientists all these people if you say carbon they say oh poison carbon is not poison we are all carbon life hello we are made of carbon every life that you know here worm, insect, bird, animal, tree everything is made of carbon what we call as life itself is a carbon chain or a carbon cycle in this carbon cycle the important part of exchange or continuity of this cycle is photosynthesis and more important part is the soil if it doesn't go into the soil constantly we are breaking the carbon chain if the carbon chain breaks this means in some way we are dismantling the fundamental life infrastructure that is what is happening right now today we are calling this soil extinction you heard of dinosaurs going extinct dodos going extinct no we are talking about soil extinction soil extinction means the basic infrastructure for life so that life is being dismantled horrible absolutely horrible my second question to you was a different completely different one I have a foundation for girls education in four different African countries we work in eastern Africa in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and in the west in Ghana we enable girls and young women to be able to access education and healthcare always in the rural areas by the way as you can imagine agriculture plays a huge part when we ask the girls how many of your parents is farmers they all raise their hand when I ask them how many of you would like to become farmers they all take their hands down they would all like to become lawyers doctors which is incredible but my question to you is how can we make it more appealing it's not very incredible because if you're a lawyer and I'm a doctor for you somebody should be in trouble for me somebody should be sick that's true you would think being a farmer is incredible that means somebody is eating good food exactly and you get to be outside this is what I'm trying to get at basically my question is how can we make it more appealing because these young girls have only seen their poor parents that have not been able to provide properly or create a business out of this incredible soil that I thought Africa has very beautiful soil but yet they live from the hand to their mouth and they don't want to become farmers but we need them to become farmers correct so this problem is not just in Africa it's across the boat everywhere in the world for example in India over 60% of Indian population are farmers right now but we have not asked the children because we may draw a zero so we have asked the farmers of you want your children to be farmers not even 2% so this magic of converting mud into food is not a small thing if there are highly educated people here if you're an MBA or even if you're an MSc in agriculture I will give you ten acres of land and ask you to grow five different varieties of crops for me please don't torture the child so if you ask them to grow five different varieties of crops believe me highly educated people cannot do that because we are taking agriculture for granted because people are functioning out of intrinsic knowledge which they have gathered from hundreds of generations so if this generation goes away in another twenty years or twenty five years who is going to perform this magic mud to food once you lose that capability or that knowledge of doing this well the world will pay a very severe price and this is not in one place in Africa this is across the world across the world why is this so see for example in united states I am taking united states as an example because one thing is it's the most affluent nation another thing is a whole lot of things are better documented there than anywhere else fifty percent of the American farmers have not earned a single dollar of profit in the last twelve years fifty percent and the highest suicide rates among any professions in America is among the farmers whole families shooting themselves because for years on end if you don't make a dollar how do you survive loans will grow input cost will grow then you have no way to survive the only way is to lose the land so this is happening in India also I am sure it's happening everywhere else in India in the last twenty years three hundred thousand farmers have committed suicide everybody says oh it's because of the bank loan it's because happened because of this because of that I am asking you any one of you or all of you in the land whatever loans you have whatever troubles you have if not for commercial purpose even if you could grow food for your own family would you kill yourself hello definitely not isn't it with Africa the problem is migration in the by 2032 it is expected there will be a migration of people from across the world to urban centers in India alone 220 million people will migrate why are people migrating if there was food on the land why would they go somewhere when people migrate in unplanned ways because the countries that you mentioned this is a massive problem in southern Europe where when people drag their wives and children where they don't know the language they don't know how to live how to survive nothing simply they are coming what happens to children and women in this whole journey is most horrendous and how they get exploited when they come to this new place is unspeakable terrible things are happening everybody keeps their mouth shut because these people have no identities they have no ID card nobody knows who they are in any kind so this is happening if you want to prevent this if we want to stem migration people who consciously migrate to some other place it's their choice but people who are forced to migrate because there is no food to eat in the place they are that's not a fair thing food must always grow where people are it's very very important not somewhere else in ten years 1.2 billion people moving the media will only report the number of deaths on the way nobody can report the suffering that people go through the humiliations that they go through the debasement that happens to women and children these things can never be recorded by anybody only deaths will be counted that also we don't know so what can we do no no this is not to draw a doomsday picture why we are doing this journey why this movement is because we are a unique generation we are in a place we are in a curse of time right now if we act now with the right kind of policies why I am insisting on policies see let's say you own some land, I own some land you take really good care of your land I do the same but what is the guarantee the next generation won't mess it up as we have already so only if it is instituted in the policy it is ensured that forever sustainably the land will stay that way for example in every city there will be a old part of the city I do not know much about Berlin but I am sure you will know there will be old part of the city where homes are built in such a way wall to wall they are built do you have such a segment of Berlin somewhere I am new here as well I believe we do yeah so there will be one place everywhere in every city old cities where there is no concept of a window in the house there is only one door to go in and come out in every city there will be some part like this why did this happen because there were no laws but today if you have ten thousand square feet of land in Berlin city you can't build ten thousand square feet you can only build six or seven thousand square feet whatever is the law for yourself, your neighbor and all this stuff if you build more they will come and demolish it but if you have hundred acres of agricultural land you can plough every inch of it and in ten years time you turn it into a desert nobody will ask you why have you done this soil is not our property soil is a legacy we have received from the past we must pass it on in this living condition in the next generations right now the soil or the food that we are consuming everybody, every one of us should be conscious of this the food that we are consuming is actually not even belonging to the next generation that is already here it belongs to the unborn child eating up the food allotted for the unborn child in my emotion an unborn child who has no way to defend himself or herself you already eat up their food when they come there is no food here this is a real crime against humanity but that's exactly what we are doing simply because everybody you know like last two years have been travelling twenty-five years we have been doing this work last two years particularly have been travelling and meeting various people government officials, ministers other people and scientists what I see is yes what I see is everybody knows what's the problem and everybody knows what's the solution everybody says sattguru yes it must be done then I realize everybody knows the problem everybody generally knows the solution they were just waiting for an idiot to bell the cat here I am it is so important the most important message of our time I believe and it's so great that you're doing this on a motorbike I really hope you love riding a motorbike by the way because this journey sounds absolutely incredible I asked your team how many are riding with you they said nobody it's always you by yourself on a bike wow I believe I was told this part of keeping social distance of course this is all we do motorcycle if you ride fast nobody is around you of course it's so smart and you get as fast as you like you don't need to pay attention to any slow drivers you get to get there and speed it all up speaking of which I was told I have to keep some time to leave questions from the audience I don't know if this is the right time to do this but if any of you have any questions you can start raising your hand and we can take questions from whoever would like okay I'll start with this guy straight ahead you're being pushed back oh he's getting a mic Namaskaram Sir Guru oh sorry please if you could mention your name and where you're from my name is Vikram I'm from India going down to Sir Guru speak why are you copying a question actually I prepared and I don't want to forget any line asking in my question Sir Guru please so my question is not directly on soil but definitely includes safe soil please allow me to speak for a couple of minutes no no no just question please before I ask the question I will speed up just question please there's so many people alright okay so Sir Guru a yogi listening that everybody knows he's a yogi whose only business in the world is human well-being so Sir Guru at 65 years of age come to the question don't disclose my age to everybody come on risking his life bike riding 100 days 30,000 km across 24 countries in European cold Arabian heat and Indian rainy weather conditions for the sake of present and future life on the mother earth so my question how do you make it happen or what does it take for a human being to become Sir Guru or let's say the entire humanity on the planet to become Sir Gurus so yeah we are in a democratic setup in the world largely most nations are democratically ruled what this means is ah that actually in Tamil language it is appropriately described the word democracy in Tamil means that means people's rule or rule people are the rulers that's what it means that's what it is so the most important thing about democracy is whether you are a king or a popper whether you have a full brain or a half brain you are a guru or no guru you are a man or a woman whatever you are you just got only one vote hello? one person only one vote so at least in one level everybody is leveled out after that they can climb somebody is in upper regions somebody in the low regions that happens in a society you can't help and it's okay but every five years everybody is down because everybody has only one vote and you also have one vote vote you leave i will leave it to you how you what your discretion is about how you use your vote i will leave that to you i don't want to get political but your voice your voice is as important as your vote your voice is also a mandate for the government in this country have people at least sixty percent of the voting population have they expressed that we are concerned about the long term issues of this nation no they are just asking we want one percent discount in tax we want this benefit that benefit that's what they are getting the whole administration and policy making the economy is discussing about once in a way in this UN related what do you say agencies having these conferences there they talking about how to fix the world but everybody has learned to attend conferences and go back home conference attending itself has become one kind of profession these days you know really i used to at one time i was attending a lot of these world peace conferences there are lots of them happening one world peace conference i went to i don't want to mention the place of the name because there are too many prominent people there there were forty two Nobel laureates in the conference peace conference then i am like this i will go and sit in the front row in every word i have not gone there for entertainment so this was going on on the second or third day afternoon at two o'clock one Nobel laureate comes on stage and goes behind this thing and he has come with a bunch of pages he opened it up and at two o'clock in the afternoon he started reading reading reading i was just counting the pages forty two pages he read without looking up even once he just read forty two pages i looked around the hall was really peaceful literally everybody except the security and staff who were standing and myself everybody were dozing then my chance to speak is just after this man so i opened up my one kind of voice and did a chant then they all woke up then i said see we are talking about world peace how many of you can genuinely put your hand on your heart and say that your mind is peaceful if you can't make your mind peaceful world peace is a joke hello what is happening in the world is just an enlarged manifestation of what's happening in human minds if human minds were really peaceful why would the world not be peaceful they were sincere enough to admit no sattguru we were not we are not peaceful then first is it not the thing to address because the world is very peaceful if human beings were not here isn't it very very peaceful and if you are really serious this is what you should do and i stopped going to these world peace conferences i don't know if they are still happening they must be happening somewhere then i realized then i asked why in the afternoon everybody was like without exception everybody was asleep they said no sattguru yesterday evening there was a bakardi festival festival free drinks were there so everybody drank and today afternoon they are dozing off in the conference so world can become peaceful if everybody gets drunk world can become peaceful if everybody is drugged out world can also become peaceful if all of us are just dead but that is not the way to become peaceful to be dynamically active to be involved and still be peaceful for this individual people have to become peaceful just like that coming to the soil see the problem with the world is this when people have to get something they are all special people oh why i didn't get my share my rights and everything when they have to contribute something they become so small i am just a small guy i must i must tell you this this happened long time ago in 18th century this happened there are other people on the moon and they decided they want to talk to them let's say it's berlin they decided we must talk to them who is there on the moon how to communicate they said if all of us come on our rooftops and really shout in one voice they will hear and let's see what they say because moon is just here right this happened a joke inside a joke okay are you alright Shankaran Pillai went for a job interview even you even you know Shankaran Pillai Shankaran Pillai you don't know him i am introducing he is a south indian man okay not a person he is a man so he went for a job interview in Bangalore so the interviewer was looking at various things and then he asked one question which is closer moon or mumbai Shankaran Pillai said moon he said how do you say that how is moon closer than mumbai he said i can see the moon i can't see mumbai so they decided in one voice to shout who are you but who are you like let us make it happen get mixed up so in one word we will all say who at a given moment so that time was set everybody got on top of the Berlin rooftops everybody ready that moment coming you know me i thought what is me i am just a small guy even with the microphone people are not able to hear if i don't say who what does it happen so many big people are here that moment came and it passed in total silence this is what is happening in the world you know like lord billiam oria was saying i was there for one and a half weeks in cop26 i addressed 30 different events i spoke to everybody that was there but i did not hear the word soil i spoke to a few of the environment ministers from various countries they all said satt guru soil why when 40% of global warming and climate change is happening because of plowed soils on the planet why is it that we are so silent young people should research and find out why you must find out why it's very important and you vikram from india okay so so you must understand this many people here in this hall maybe 1200 people i guess around that much i think if all of you all of you have a phone that silly phone that silly phone you have oh i'm sorry smart phone see you call something smart or you call someone smart only if they are smarter than you isn't it hello so this phone is not for you to send silly messages to each other this is a powerhouse all right if you use it right you can reach the entire world this 1200 people if they are committed for a few minutes for the next 100 days these 1200 just in Berlin alone but but but London people are doing Delhi people are doing oh even in Dubai 10.000 people will gather what is it we are just 1200 people let us go home and it's like our summer drink then it won't work this is the only reason why it's not happen because human beings have not they are acting like because we always think someone else will do it someone else will do it he will do it we always think someone else will do it i really like that moon story well let's all get on it and let's all create change and let's all do it what i really want to know what i want to know is what did you say after that peace talk what was your peace talk what were you saying in all the 42 pages this is what i asked them have any one of you genuinely can you say your mind is peaceful they admitted no we are not peaceful because we are worried about the world peace and hungover if you are not peaceful how will you ever make world peaceful see if my hands are dirty the more i touch you the more you will also become dirty so get away isn't it so if these hands are dirty first thing is to clean these hands isn't it so if this is not peaceful first thing is to make this one peaceful no i want to make you peaceful this is the problem okay more questions who else would like to ask a question how am i supposed to pick would you like to pick seguro would you like to pick i think they love if you pick really hmm i'll have the lady here in the second row whoever does the le le le jig they will get it exactly and name and where you're from please first i already picked someone sorry what do you think we should get tony to do the jig isn't it my name is manali shatih from india oh i have a story about why indians ask so many questions my question is i do not belong to a farmers family and i have grown up in a modern city with no proper awareness about soil saving so do you think this saving soil awareness should be introduced in the early age of students life in education system i would have done that but we can't roll back time so we have chosen to do it right now with you see this is another thing that's going on particularly in europe also in united states beginning to infect india this is everybody's let's go to the schools and activate the children they must know all these companies which are destroying the world please children below 15 years of age do not put negative emotions into them about anything or anybody because how a child processes negative emotion is very different from how a mature adult will do i am not saying all of you are mature i am saying once you put this anger oh she is the one who is destroying this planet because she is this company or this country or something i am telling you a child will suffer for the rest of his or her life with those emotions so do not activate the children why are you going on saying children must be thought children yourself have not gotten it why the children should get it before you if you set an example children will do it anyway if you set a wrong example children will do the wrong things if you set a right example they will do the right things you are setting a wrong example and trying to preach them then they will do utterly wrong things don't give preachings set an example that you are a conscious human being damage around yourself whether to your life or to anybody else's life you are not causing damage if you set up this example children will be fine you don't have to educate them they learn by observing you they never listen to your preaching and i am glad they have so simple but so so wise and so deep everyone lets just be good examples and then the rest can follow third question okay you are singing very loud over there i will take you mr pink shirt hello sir guru oh another indian my name is Igor i am from Hamburg from Germany and my question is we saw at the video that you met some people from the government in the countries where you have been what are your plans for germany could you meet some people from the german government and submit any kind of any kind of documents or what are your plans for germany and the second question is it's a great idea no we will handle this one question okay this is troublesome enough sorry so see we had planned our route in a certain way that we would have come to northern part of europe that's let's say berlin in mid april according to our initial plan but we changed our route because we were told that this is the time that your parliament what what do you call it bundestag okay that one i am not getting that anyway the parliament is meeting only for this four days so we rigid the whole route and took the risk of coming to northern europe and riding through this part of the country or this part of the continent in march because generally march could be very cold as we go further east it could be icy the roads could be icy icy roads and motorcycles are not friendly you know they don't like each other so because of that we had planned differently because of the parliament meeting we did this but now wherever you go this is almost like an agreement don't handle anything except the war it looks like this kind of instructions they are even gone to the major media nothing but the war must be reported okay so everywhere it's war this week the german parliament was i mean not the german parliament i am sorry the european union was supposed to announce regenerative agricultural policy so in expectation of that we decided to come at this time but now they are saying we have two years because of the war where do you get in the last fifty years where has there been two year period when there was no war human beings have been constantly fighting with somebody somewhere somebody is always waging a war so if you postpone it by two years something that is so vital which you are about to address and now postpone it und jetzt sagen sie, niemand ist available, weil es morgen passiert ist, wir machen einen Versuch, ein paar Lawmakers zu treffen, aber wir wissen es noch nicht, weil heute wir supposed to meet some in the afternoon, but they were all asked to stay in the parliament because there's some budget session going on. I understand government business is there, they have to do that. But it's become very difficult to meet any lawmaker, because generally everybody is saying it's war. But what are we doing for war here? War is an unfortunate situation, we don't have to make it a global phenomena. Unfortunately every few years there's a war somewhere, alright? Thank the soil issue makes war any better, aren't lots of wars fought as well over soil and over land? Wars have fought on the land and what damage they cause is another story, we cannot even talk about it, but I feel if the people of Germany and not only Germany, people of Europe because it's a European Union policy, if you at least ask them to pre-pwn, maybe because of the war if you're stuck on so many things, maybe six months postponument, okay, two years is too bad. Even more so for all of us to speak up. Actually I had another question, I'm sorry I'm going to jump in quickly, what we as individuals, we know what we can do, we can spread the word, we can post, we can use our powerhouse smartphones, us as a society specifically here in Berlin and Germany, is there something where you say you guys need to be doing this more or start this? See the Asia Home School in India, the children there took up this challenge, they are, they have promised me and they are doing very well right now, they are getting ten million children across India to write a letter to the Prime Minister. Now, ten million children, if they write letters to the Prime Minister, you think he's going to ignore that? He will not ignore that and he cannot ignore that, because when we did Rally for Rivers, in twenty-nine days of me driving from southern tip of India to Himalayas, in twenty-nine days I gathered the support of hundred and sixty-two million people. Because of this, what the policy, the policy document that we produced as to how to manage Indian rivers, a seven-hundred-and-sixty page document, when we gave it to the Prime Minister and then it went into the Planning Commission and it went through the whole process. Within three-and-a-half months, this became the official policy for twenty-eight states in India. Today, you know, as a part of, as a part of Rally for Rivers, we started manifesting this plan that we made in the policy in one Reverbation called Kaveri, it's called, the project is called Kaveri Calling. So here it is eighty-three thousand square kilometers of land, five-point-two million farmers live and work in this Reverbation. Because of the success of this project, four UN agencies are partners with us today and the government, the central government seeing the success of this project, on the basis of this project, replicating this project, they made detailed project reports for thirteen Reverbations and just now four days ago they announced a budget of two-point-five billion dollars as a budget for these thirteen Reverbations. This is the way policy moves. Well, it's taken, it took us seven to eight years to change certain policies which are restrictive to remove those rules so that farmers could actually plant trees on their land. And now it took another five years before they would allocate a budget. But this is how the government and the machinery of the government moves. But this is a sure thing. Because once the government policy, once it is enshrined in the government policy, budget will come, government machinery will start moving in that direction, only then something real will happen. Otherwise when I say fix the soil, save the soil, you go home and start fixing your garden. Well, that's very cute, but it's not a solution. It is not a solution. You fix your land, I fix my land, wonderful. But this is not a solution because seventy-one percent of the world's land is agriculture. If you don't change that, this will not change. And when it comes to soil and ecology, national boundaries are meaningless, okay? When it comes to life, life per se, national boundaries mean nothing, these are lines that we have drawn in our own heads. Well, it has a question. So about that question, one second, you can all write to your local member of the parliament or all of you can write to your chancellor or get children to write to the chancellor. Get, see in India we need ten million letters. Here get a million letters to your chancellor, job will be done. Now we know what to do. Let's all spread that message. Choose somebody from the upper world, you know? Where are you? Everyone's waving. Oh, straight ahead. You can see her. She's behind the camera. Hi. Yes. Thank you for being here. I'm a little nervous. I am 20. I'm Lina and I'm from Germany. This is not a Confession, okay? All right. No. I grew up in a farm, my grandparents are farmers and I decided for myself that I want to take a different path and like move into a city studying, how can I have a healthy life with a new chance I need, but with the like food I get here in the supermarket, but also not like buying avocados from like, I don't know, 10,000 miles away to get that. How is that possible? How can I keep the balance like in my personal life? Oh, I thought you wanted to go back to the farm. So this issue that you brought up and what I also said about India about how many people in the next generation want to go into farming, the only way you can send them back to farming is to make it so lucrative that if not more, at least they earn as much as a lawyer or a doctor or an engineer, the farmer must earn as much, only the next generation will go. Our 20-year-old Magic, she doesn't want to go back, but she wants to eat the best food, but somebody should grow it. Nothing wrong with that, you're a young woman, you can do what you want. But how to get that food, well, in a large city, I cannot say how because you can only buy it in a store, you growing your own food is not a practical solution. If you want, you can have an avocado tree, that's easy to grow, okay? But rest of the food, you can't grow like that. It is too diverse. So one thing is, you must write to all the MPs, what do you call them, MPs? No, not ministers, the local representatives, parliamentary representatives, members of the parliament? Bundestax, I've got and so, there we go. I grew up English speaking as well, so I'm a little behind as well. Bundes, what? Bundestax, Abgeordneter. Okay, to all those guys. Abgeordneter. Minister, ich sag Minister. You write one letter to all of them, get all your friends to write for them. Above all, as I said, these twelve hundred people, you move three to four billion people, I will see it becomes part of the policy that there must be a minimum of that much organic content. If that much organic content is there, naturally the usage of fertilizer will come down, nobody, no farmer, because fertilizer is expensive, he's not going to just take it and throw it. If the land has enough richness, he will use minimum amount of it. Yes, some amount of poison is there in the air that you breathe, in the water that you drink, food that you eat, it's fine, but you're able to manage it at a certain level, when it crosses that level, that is when it is becoming a serious issue. So how much should be there, right now European Union has come up with a stringent law. How much fertilizer residue or how much pesticide residue can be there in your vegetables and fruits, there is some kind of a law, which I think Europe has the best law compared to any other part of the world. So that is there to limit that, but still to get fresh food. Fresh food means this. See in the yogic culture, people keep asking me, Sadguru, how is it that you are so energetic, how many things are you doing in your life, how is it that you slow sleep so little, well people, you know, it's like this, I was at the Denver airport, about 25, 30 people came to see me off. It was not an ounce, but somehow they find out and they come to the airport. And they all brought flowers and they're singing and dancing and happy, laughing. So one of the airport officials asked, why are they all so happy? I said they are happy that I am leaving, because I was here for four days. These four days they have not eaten properly, they have not slept properly, day in and day out there, because I stay awake, they also stay awake. Non-stop work has been going on, they are celebrating that I am leaving. So how is it, thing is just this, see if you live properly, only forty percent of your energies should come from the food that you eat. Remaining sixty percent should come from air, water and sunlight. So don't just ask, when you are concerned about health and well-being, you are concerned about your health, you are also concerned about how much you can do and what you can do with your life. When this is your concern, this is very important, because the more you depend on food, the more inertia you will have. Inertia means, ah well, let us say you are sleeping eight hours a day. If you are sleeping eight hours a day, you are going to sleep away one-third of your life itself. Hello? Yes or no? In twenty-four hours, eight hours if you sleep, one-third of your life sleeping. Is sleeping a crime? No, no, it is not. But if you sleep through your life, you will be a disaster. Yes or no? Right now this soil is a disaster or heading towards a disaster, mainly because people are sleeping thinking somebody else will do it. Your life nobody else will do it. You do it. The way you do it is the way it works, this life. So if you are sleeping eight hours, one reason is you are thinking only food will create health. No, only forty percent should be food. Then you will be agile and you will be lighter than the breeze. Yes. Now, activity and what you do in your life is never burdensome, because what is needed you will do. See, if you are a little heavy, you want to get up, ah, can you do it for me? If you are light, boom, you will get up, you look at a child. Before you tell him he will run, isn't it? Before you tell them anything they are already there, because they enjoy moving their body. They just love it, just to run and hop and jump for no reason. Simply because body is feeling like that, joyful. So to become like this, ah, you need to do certain things. Not only about how you eat, yes it's important, how you breathe, how you drink water. Not only what you eat, but how you eat also you must bring. In this group I can't do all this, but you must pay some attention about this. Above all, see, Germany is a nation known for its engineering. For example, when would you say a machine is well engineered, when it does just what you want, all right? If your car behaves the way you want, you say this is a great car. If you want to go like this, it goes like this, this is not a great car. Right now just look at yourself. You say you want to be peaceful, it does something else. You say you want to be joyful, it does something else. You say you want to be loving, it does something else. Today is my birthday, I'm not going to fight with anybody, boom, that day. This is because not well engineered, you must do some inner engineering with this. If you do that, whatever kind of food comes to you, you can do wonders out of it. About food, one thing you must do is you must eat the food fresh. When I say fresh, this word fresh has been forgotten in the West, the Western societies. What is fresh is forgotten, I don't know how many of you still go in the morning to the bakery when the bread is just being baked and it's smelling wonderful. If you buy that loaf and come and have breakfast, is anybody still doing it? French are doing it a little bit. Actually with bread, yes. Huh? With bread, yes. Yes? In Germany? Me, yes, but I'm a huge bread person. Okay. But generally most people are buying bread, which is a month old or two weeks old or whatever, yes or no? And everything is old like this. Most of the meat that people are eating is weeks old. You see, in yogic kalchai, if you cook anything, within 90 minutes, 90 minutes or one and a half hours you must eat it. After that we won't eat. Because it will gather inertia, it's called thammas. Once thammas comes, body becomes lethargic. So right now if you don't keep your mind well, if you don't keep your mind exuberant and joyful, then you enjoy lethargy. All you like is you want to sleep. Sleep is a way of dodging life, isn't it? Hello? Hello? No, you know, not bad. You think anyway somebody is going to say yes. Safe soil, not bad. So from now on, you just have to pay little attention. There's a lot of material we've put out about food and inner engineering. Please look it up because how you keep this machine, this is the most sophisticated machine on the planet. Do you agree with me? This machine, have you read the user's manual? If you don't read the user's manual, you're operating it by accident. Accidentally, sometimes you're happy, sometimes you're joyful, sometimes this. If somebody does something, boom, it'll plummet. This is very important. How you are or how you experience your life must be determined by you. What you do in the world may many forces what to do, according to them you have to do. But how you are within yourself must be determined by you and you alone, yes or no? This moment I am joyful or miserable must be determined by me, not by somebody else. If somebody else decides this, then you eat all the best food, it'll all go waste. So it's very important, you must understand the food that we eat, the way we breathe, the way we sit, the way we stand, all these things are a little bit of engineering. If you engineer this properly, then this will function just the way you want. In our lives, see what the world throws at us is not our choice. What we make out of it is 100% our choice. I think we have time for one more question. I can't not see the jacket. I'm going to take the jacket, lady. Now she sat back down. Oh, it was for her friend. Oh yeah. Okay, fine. Okay, fine. Naven, where are you from as well? I think he needs a microphone. Hey, your partner, she's a good campaigner. Give her to me for 100 days, she makes a lot of noise. Maybe if you ask chicken, come with you on the tour. You will be okay with it? So, my name is Mike, I'm originally from Ukraine, and I'm very happy to be here and to listen to you. So, my question is the following. You've been talking a lot about policies. What do you think about technology? What can that do for a soil? Because if you go to Silicon Valley, for instance, all people say technology solve all of our problems. What do you think about that? What can technology do in this issue for us? See with technology, because if you want to solve any problem today, especially when if it's of a global scale, data becomes very important. Otherwise, we will be wasting our time and energy doing things, which are not relevant to a given place. When data is very important, technology becomes very important. Even artificial intelligence becomes very important. I must tell you this. In southern India, this Kaveri calling project, what we are doing, there's a growth-related subsidy attached to the trees. What the farmer has to do is, he has to just take a picture of his tree every year and put it on the website, the government website. Within ten to twelve hours, money goes straight to his bank account. This is a huge incentive for the farmer, that he doesn't have to go and stand in a line somewhere, he just have to take a picture and put it there. And there is also a digital marketplace that we have set up, where if the tree is four, five years of age, he can take a picture and auction it on the digital marketplace. I'm just numbers, I'm just throwing, this is not the real numbers. Let us say this tree is sold for ten thousand euros. Twelve years later, it is sold now. Twelve years later, growth-related, the agreement is such, it is growth-related, it is already sold for ten thousand euros. Year on year, second year if you send the picture, looking at the picture, whoever is managing the market, decides to give him five hundred euros this year, at once. Next year maybe eight hundred euros, like this it goes. So let's say out of this ten thousand euros, up to seven thousand euros were already given, because the market is already sold, last when they come and cut the tree, they'll give you the remaining three thousand. This is a massive possibility for the farmer, because otherwise he's not capable of waiting for twelve years. He doesn't have the economic strength to wait for twelve years. So technology is important this way. But at the same time I would like to warn you, because I planted myself in California for twenty-five days, a couple of months ago, because many people were to be met there. And every second day somebody comes up to me and says, Sathguru, my friend has created this fantastic app, it can solve all the problems. See, what is the food app in Berlin? Food delivery? Yeah. Volt to Liferando? What is that? Volt, W-O-L-T, or Liferando, I think are the two big ones. Okay, in India we have Swiggy, Piggy and these things like that. All right? So you can call your older Swiggy, Piggy, whatever you want. Food comes to your house. But still somebody has to grow it, somebody has to cook it. Delivery is happening by app. Cooking is not happening by the app. Food growth is not happening by app. Somebody still has to... there has to be a real world. In... we can enhance it by technology. Application can be enhanced. App simply means application. But today a whole lot of young people are beginning to think, the app itself will do everything. Like they thought supermarket is producing all the stuff. No, you need to understand there is a world where things have to grow. So when it comes to soil, if you want to enhance organic content in the soil, which is the only issue we are talking about right now, to raise it to a minimum of three to six percent. But if you raise it to eight to ten percent, what would happen is the irrigation requirement that you have for the land right now will come down to thirty percent of what it is right now. If you are using hundred liters, it will become thirty liters. If you raise the organic content to twelve to fifteen percent, it will come down to ten to fifteen percent of what you are using right now. Right now over two billion people are water stressed in the world. By 2032, they are expecting 3.5 billion people will be water stressed. It means 3.5 billion people on this planet will have a hard time finding drinking water, okay? Maybe the shower and bath may go totally out of vogue. We may not afford it in future, so I will enjoy it now, okay? Or you live near ocean, you can jump in and swim at least. This is where we are going. For this, if you enhance organic content, soil's ability to store water is so greatly enhanced that irrigation requirement will come down. Why is this important? Because nearly seventy-four to seventy-six percent of the world's fresh water is used for agriculture. In India, eighty-four percent of our water is used for agriculture. That is where the issue is, if we reduce that usage, water stress will come down substantially for everybody. So technology is there and because you are from Ukraine, because your country is facing a certain situation right now, which unfortunately many countries across the world have faced in the last fifty years, how many wars? In Africa alone in the last fifty years, there have been thirty major wars. These thirty major wars, twenty-seven were fought to acquire fertile lands. And that will be the future war, to acquire fertile lands, to acquire water source. This will be the future wars and people will fight. At least we should take this step, now that you are facing a war close by. Well, just the reverse is happening, but all of you as citizens can push it in this direction. This is not my work, because this next generation should push this. See, we already have so many kinds of weaponry in the world. People are openly gloating about smart bombs. How can a bomb be smart? It's a goddamn dumb thing to do, to drop a bomb among all of you right now. Is it a smart thing to do? It's a dumbest thing to do, where people are there putting bombs. And how is a bomb smart? Why it is smart is, they are openly advertising like this in the military magazines. You can drop it through the window of a home, I believe, from the airplane some two miles above the ground in the sky. From there they can drop the bomb into the house through the window. At least the cutting edge technology from now onwards. What's happened is happened, we can't help it. From now onwards new technologies must not go into military use, at least make that much, no? Smarter and smarter ways to kill people. Horrible. Horrible. One more question, do we have time for one more question? Oh, I'm not sure if we have time. T.S., you let me know if we have time for one more, no? Okay, you take over. I'm so sorry for that. But thanks a lot. I know it's a very emotional moment, I think for the most of us, Guru, thank you so much. I am deeply impressed, and I think everybody views deeply impressed as well. Right? First of all we are not at the end. We are not at the end, because there's another chair coming on stage, because we have another guest. But first I have to say we have one task for tomorrow. Everybody of us has one task for tomorrow. We have to write a letter to the Bundeskanzleramt, where the Chancellor Olaf Scholz is working. The Bundeskanzleramt, the address is Willi Brandstraße 1, Sehn, fünf, fünf, sieben Berlin. So everybody of us has to write a letter tomorrow in the morning. Okay. Maybe make a picture of this situation together. One important thing is, whenever you mention anything ecological or environmental, always people are talking about whose face should be smashed now. Oh, this company is doing all the evil. That country is doing all the evil. We must drop this. All of us are partners in this destruction. All of us can be partners in turning it around. And we will follow. So, let's make the stage 3 for our second guest. This is Professor Dr. Johann Röckström. He's the Director of the Postum Institute for Climate Impact Research and Professor at the Institute of Earth Environmental Science at Postum University and Professor in Water Systems and Global Sustainability at Stockholm University. One of the most famous professors in our world and we are very impressed to have him here to be with you on stage. Ladies and gentlemen, please give a big hand for Professor Johann Röckström. Welcome to the Center seat. Well, I'm a scientist. I'm a nurse system scientist. But when I have been privileged to come into contact with the Save Our Soul campaign, Save Our Soul campaign, I just wanted to take this opportunity to share with you some of the latest scientific assessment of why I would even... Is it so that it's... Take mine. Take mine. Yeah, sorry, exact. There we are. There we are. Why do scientific support to potentially even consider changing the logo that it's not only about saving our soil, it is that the soil saves us. And that that is what the scientific evidence is increasingly showing. So we are in the midst of a climate crisis. We have an ecological crisis. We have a health crisis. And we have a war crisis. And they're all interacting. And the latest science shows that our only chance for a safe landing on the climate crisis is not only to phase out coal, oil and natural gas. We also need to secure the health of the soils. And that this is now a precondition for our chance of having a livable future on Earth for all future generations. It's come to that point. In the latest IPCC assessment, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, that came out just a few months back, the numbers are clear. 56% of our emissions of greenhouse gases are taken up by nature. Half on land, in soils, and the other half in ocean. What is this? Well, this is a proof that our planet is a biogeochemical, resilient machinery that is helping us humans for our future. It's basically providing us with the biggest subsidy to our lives. And what is it that takes up those 25% on land? Well, it's the soil. It is the ability, just as Saguro pointed out, of healthy soils having organic matter, soil moisture, rooting systems that provides life on Earth, the photosynthesis that makes all our species on Earth, including Homo sapiens, having any chance of a future. And it's now providing, since 150 years, this phenomenal capacity of just adding more buffering. It is dampening the enormous debt that we've caused on planet Earth. How are we doing, then, to take care of nature, to continue having this service? We're doing really bad. We're doing so bad, so the latest science shows that the richest terrestrial ecosystem on Earth, the Amazon Rainforest, has just tipped over from being a carbon sink, taking up carbon in the soils, to now being a carbon source. This is nothing but a nightmare finding. We have more and more scientific evidence that we now need to halt all forms of expansion of agriculture, because soil that we now manage to produce food for infrastructure, for cities, is a major emitter of greenhouse gases. In fact, it's the single largest emitter of greenhouse gases, so the only reason that soil is helping us is the intact nature. So we are doing really bad job on the soil that we're managing to produce food primarily, but also for grazing lands. And we have our last chances really to safeguard intact nature, but also, of course, doing what Yusat Guro is such a strong ambassador for to become clever stewards of the soil that we manage to have good food for humans, but also to invest in management practices that builds carbon, that builds more moisture in the soils, that gives us more healthy food production. And the good news is, we know how to do it. It's just amazing that we're not investing in the biggest opportunity we have, namely to restore health of soils. So the soil is today on a pathway towards undermining livability on earth, but it's also potentially the biggest opportunity we have to shift the dial and move in the right direction. We applaud you in this not only saving soil, but the soil save us campaign. Christian, if you want to ask, take any questions from people? We'll just continue with questions. I'll take the dancing lady back there. Somehow I always see the ones with the big movements. Can we get a microphone to her with the sign? Good hair, she's doing such a good job. You're going to ignore her. Test, test. Oh, okay. Hello, everyone. My name is Susan. My confession is, I'm from Germany and also India. So my question is, if we together can have a global rule or implement a global rule, what does it contain? How would you put into that global law or rule? Let the professor answer it from the scientific perspective. But what I would say is, because different pieces of geography are held by different nations. A global law is not going to work. A global recommendation is possible. But a law is not possible because lawmaking prerogative is not with any global body as such. It is individual nations, maybe with EU, it is a region which can form those laws. In Commonwealth we are trying to form laws through Commonwealth nations, which are 54 in number. But global law is not there. Global consensus towards the right kind of laws can be made. Right now we prepared the soil document based on latitudinal position, economic conditions, agricultural traditions and soil types, which are present there. These aspects are very important to make any law. You can't just make one prescription for everybody because it may not be implementable in many parts of the world, either because of economic conditions or agricultural traditions being in a certain way or soil types, many different kind of treatment. So, there is no global law. Global consensus we can arrive at. Minimum 3-6% organic content should be there. How these individual nations should work out according to their realities, this is my opinion. Please sir. Well, we're talking soils here tonight. To just say, to give you one support to Sadhguru's principle, all soil in the world should have at least 3% organic carbon. That is what gives life. It gives carbon sequestration. It gives moisture. It gives good food production. An average African soil has 0.3%. It's been degraded to a point which explains why we have on average one ton per hectare on food crops, on millet, Sorghum, Maize, across most parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Can you imagine if you would go from 0.3% to 3% in Africa, you would help the climate, you would help African development, you would secure food health, you would get rid of malnutrition and you would move towards a positive development. Ukraine has the world's richest soil. The famous black cotton soils in Ukraine, the bread basket of large parts of the world. 85% of the grain imported to Egypt at the moment of the Arab Spring came from Ukraine and Russia. You may know that when the people took to the streets in Ukraine through the Arab Spring, the slogan was bread freedom dignity. Bread freedom dignity. Because the food prices had gone skyrocketing. Why? Because the forest fires that put a ban on exports on grain from Russia and Ukraine and droughts in Australia. Attributed to climate change caused by us humans. Soil and food causing and triggering instability which gave the rise to the Arab Spring. Soils is the core of that principle. So I would say that is really one of the key principles. But the second one dear friends is that we are actually at risk of destabilizing the whole planet. And what is it that regulates the health of the planet? Well it is the planetary boundaries. The planetary boundaries is not only climate. It's the soils. It's biodiversity. It's fresh water. It's nitrogen. It's phosphorus. It's air pollutants and it's chemicals. We need to keep all these within safe boundaries. We call that the safe operating space for humanity. Science now provides safe quantities for all of these boundaries. So I redefine sustainable development and human dignity in the following way. Prosperity and equity within planetary boundaries. That is to me the rule for humanity in the future. Okay, last question. Now everyone got a poster and is dancing. Very smart you guys. Okay, I'll go with the very tall standing lady over there. Yeah, you. Just stay standing so they find you. Hi everyone. My name is Veronica. I come from born in Russia, lived in Slovenia. My question to you was we here not talk about the government and the population. I mean the civilians. But businesses play also a huge role in this circle. And my question would be what is right now the agenda of circular economy and the future of how businesses impact the change itself, including soil of course. Thank you. Yeah, thanks for that really important question and I can start and then I'm sure Saguara has very important reflections here as well. I would like to say that in general unfortunately businesses have not understood to be stewards of soils, unfortunately. They've come a long way on climate and climate is translated to carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide is translated only to oil, coal and natural gas. And we should actually in a way almost celebrate that companies, businesses have come a long way to understand that circular economic business models to phase out fossil fuels is really, really happening and Germany is actually a country that is really committed to land a net zero German welfare economy by 2045 and I applaud Germany for that and I think Germany will succeed. But the problem is that we haven't recognized that it's equally important to do the same thing on soils and we need to have that part integrated into all business as well and you have a little handful of companies doing it and I won't list them here but there are a few important food companies that are starting to recognize that they need to have circular economic models both for fresh water, for soil and for biodiversity but they are so few, this is why your leadership, Sadhguru and this campaign is so important because again the only safe landing we have is to get the soils on board. Say I would like to treat businesses because businesses have become many businesses have become almost as large as nations they are like small nations by themselves corporates have become that large so a business institution or a company is also like an individual they can make a difference their footprint is way bigger than an individual person but still how much a person is willing to do consciously if every one of us consciously dealt with this it would be in a different affair but that's not happened so now expecting businesses to turn around by themselves is not the way I feel policy is very important because a business which works within the policy framework we must let them be whatever they are doing otherwise if you are a law abiding citizen nobody should mess with you in this country that's how it should be no you are a law abiding citizen but I don't like what you are doing this should not come up this will lead to anarchy you are going by the law within the framework of the law you are doing whatever you want to do but I don't like it so I will try to enforce things on you this is not a good society this will lead to chaos so the same goes for businesses people are always telling me sattguru you are supporting fertilizer company I said see is it legal if it's legal I won't touch it if it's illegal if they are doing something beyond the law of the nation then we will talk about it if they are within the framework of the law we must talk to the law makers if the law itself is wrong rather than people who are playing within that field accusing them of something and expecting them to be sages and saints no businesses are there to make profit they must make profit because all the investors are demanding profit will you invest in a company you can give as much advice as you want will you invest in a company which does great things but doesn't make profit no isn't it so leave it at that business is a business house we must make profit but within the framework of law if the framework of law is loose and allowing the business to cause damage then you must address the law not the business so as a but at the same time I have been talking to business leaders for last 25 years non stop in various conferences across the world what I see is there is a phenomenal shift in the way business leaders are thinking I have personally worked with a few of them and they have quietly changed their businesses in such a way that it is far more eco friendly than what it was 20, 30 years ago and many businesses are doing that by choice that is great we appreciate them but still that's not the way to do it the policy should make sure whatever business you run is beneficial to everybody the business of the policy makers it is very important policy makers should plug all those holes which allows business to exploit that because within the framework of the policy a business is supposed to play a smarter game than its competition if you don't allow them that if both of us are running a business if I tell her you must be good and I will make profit this is not going to work alright both of us are striving to make profit only if we break the framework of law then there is a penalty for that within the framework of law we are making money that should not be a problem the moment you question that you are questioning the fundamental framework of the world's economy itself don't do that because that will lead to a much greater problem whenever something is inconvenient you start throwing stones at somebody this is not a good thing to do this is a complete no-no if you think a particular law is allowing businesses to do unjust things upon people or damaging let us not even use the word unjust damaging things to the world we must tend to the law fix the law in such a way that such activity cannot happen as a part of this now I am addressing in the COP 15 by UNCCD this is a professor should know the aspects behind this see climate climate change and global warming and these carbon fuels this fossil fuel burning this gets 97% of the attention and the budget only 3% goes towards soil so COP 15 COP 26 you heard all over the place COP 15 is happening I participated in COP 14 and now it's COP 15 in Ivory Coast during this journey I am taking a two day break and going to Ivory Coast and I am addressing 170 nations we are quite certain because UNCCD is a strong partner plus the other UN agencies we are quite certain some kind of policy agreement will happen towards soil because what we are offering or what we are asking for is so simplistic nobody can say no to it what I am saying is all 3-6% organic content should be there in the soil does anybody a scientist a politician, a businessman, a former anybody do they disagree with this no everybody agrees how well there are arguments how to do it well let's debate the how but first let us agree within the next 8-10 years time all agricultural soils on the planet must have 3-6% organic content how you do it in each country according to what is available there their economic capability soil conditions peoples will to do it all this will decide how and how will also decide how long does it take I feel well to do nations should be able to do it in 6-8 years comfortably poorer nations should be able to do it in 15 years very poor nations who have no means at all should be able to do it in 20 years time it's very much possible this plan can be drawn up if this plan is drawn up execution will happen at different paces in different nations but the world should start moving towards 3-6% organic content as professor said 0.3% in Africa less than 0.5% in 62% of India's land okay with 1.3 billion population what is our plan if you go like this so this is a global issue this is not an individual nations issue so it has to be addressed globally by intention by consensus we must arrive at the intention this minima must happen everywhere how let each nation arrive at it by themselves because we cannot dictate how somebody should do their agriculture there are many many aspects attached to it I have a question for microphone I have a quick question just either of you know the percentage of organic content on German soil no I cannot say exactly but it's probably somewhere around 2-3% so it's and that's a privilege of being in the temperate northern hemisphere because there's more moisture there's lower temperature so soils, even if you misbehave tend to have higher organic matter so that is a challenge on the savanna or in India to maintain and build organic carbon but the science shows that nothing hinders us to go from 0.3-0.4 up to 3-4% it can be done but it needs clever wise management one of the most promising technologies for example is conservation agriculture we stop plowing because we have used plowing as a way of intensifying agriculture in agriculture where you turn the soil but when you turn the soil you burn carbon and you expose the soil to the sun and this works quite well in Germany when it's colder but it doesn't work at all in intensive rainfall tropical regions of the world if you stop plowing and instead you build more organic carbon in the soil by having legumes and the farmer knows that that is what makes my soil productive so it's a beautiful win-win strategy and this is what we need to see and while I'm at it just to share with you the power of what Saguru just said so soils even if we've mismanaged them it contains three times more carbon just in the first one meter than the atmosphere so the atmosphere we've loaded with carbon that we have caused 1.2°C warming the warmest temperature in the earth since we left the last ice age and we see the impacts with major, major increase in extreme events that is hitting economies everywhere in the world and humans everywhere but the soils are so powerful that they have three times more carbon despite the fact that we've mismanaged them if we would go down the route that Saguru suggests we would pick out roughly and we globally emit nine so more than 10% of the solution would be provided by managing the soils and we win through better productivity of the soil for food so it's not a small thing I mean this is going from 0.3 to 3 is a big item now already people have been about on the chair you need to go higher Saguru from Poland and she has a very nice present for you this is Susi and this is Sauguru this is the name isn't it? Safe Soil and Polish Ratumi Glebe is it right? I'll show it to my mother Ratumi Glebe Ratumi Glebe Anna thank you so Susi it's a big Anna thank you so much now we have a new friend okay Susi this is your applause das ist dein ganz ganz großer Applaus everybody is clapping their hands for you Susi, thank you okay I will bring you back Saguru Tony Professor Röckschweb, thank you a lot for a wonderful impact I am deeply impressed as before I think we are all really deeply impressed after a fantastic 2 hours night here in Berlin and the main thing for me I will bring it back home with a sentence Ich nehme es mit nach Hause und ich glaube das tun hoffentlich alle von euch von uns genauso es beginnt in uns it starts in ourselves and I think this is one of the most important thing we have to mention every day about that fact Dankeschön dass ihr da seid für die brillante Energie bleibt noch einen Moment denn wir haben einen Song und gemeinsam mit euch wollen wir gerne diesen Song feiern let's celebrate the song save soil all together vielleicht aufstehen wir ihr schön die Plakate dazu und dann zum Schluss gemeinsam dieses Bild das entsprechende Bild Professor Röckschweb muss gerade gehen Dankeschön Tony, brilliant job thank you a lot and here is the soil anthem now with our band we have this one everybody of us und ich glaube das aller aller wichtigste liebe Leute macht jetzt von diesem Moment ein Foto posted by social media und hier sind die Bilder dazu damit wir die Botschaft frei sein auslagen in die Welt save soil everybody is just soil body next 100 days next 100 days every day at least 10 to 15 minutes dedicate your time to enhance the message as you promised these 1200 people just yourself without other cities you must touch 3 to 4 billion people hello these these phones these instruments that you have in your hand these are not just taking shots of your own mug okay, alright powerful instruments if you use it right you can change the world this is the first time that such an opportunity is there with humanity just let's say 50 years ago or even 25 years ago we could never talk to the world this is the first time many great beings have come but when they spoke hardly 10 people heard this is the first time every one of us can speak to the world when we have this means when we have this technologies when we have the capability if we don't do something that is so significant for us and for future generations it shows that we just don't care enough that's what it means in our lives if we do not do what we cannot do there is no issue but in our lives if we do not do what we can do we are a disaster are we a disaster to save soil let's make it happen thanks to Joni, Professor and our Matias Matias thanks to all of them for being here wonderful to have you
