“The Conscious Planet movement is an effort to raise individual human consciousness and instill a sense of inclusiveness such that human activity becomes oriented towards responsible environmental action.
In a unique undertaking, leading teachers and spiritual and religious leaders are uniting behind a common purpose – the Planet. Along with them a network of thought leaders, visionaries and influencers will lead a global people’s movement to rekindle our relationship with nature, restore our planet, and transform millions of lives.
The movement will galvanize and engage large sections of the world’s population to get involved, create momentum and effect changes in national policies concerning ecological issues.”
Introduction
If we do not revitalize our soil…
- 60 years of harvests left before fertile lands turn to desert
- 840 billion tons of Carbon Dioxide released by soil, equal to 30 years of global emissions
If we act now to save our soil…
- 650 million more tons of cereal production
- 37 trillion more litres of groundwater
The Problem, Soil: The Final 60 Years
For millennia life on earth has been sustained by a thin layer of fertile soil on the earth’s crust. These top 36-39 inches of soil is a highly sophisticated living ecosystem and among humanity’s most precious non-renewable geo-resources. It supports agriculture. which accounts for 95% of our food. It houses the rich biodiversity of the plant kingdom which does the work of converting carbon dioxide into life-sustaining oxygen. It absorbs, filters and regulates the flows of freshwater bodies. And it plays a vital role in climate change mitigation and adaptation by storing carbon (carbon sequestration) and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.
But healthy soil is disappearing fast. Agriculture, deforestation and other factors have degraded and eroded topsoil at alarming rates. Globally about 25% of land is degraded. The equivalent of one soccer pitch of soil is eroded every five seconds. This erosion far outstrips the natural regeneration rate of about 1 inch every 1000 years.
Much of what remains is degraded, with dramatic declines in agricultural productivity of the soil. If this continues, the UN estimates that we could lose all cultivable soil in next 60 years. With a population expected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, we could face a crisis of untold proportions.
The planet is in crisis. If current rates of soil degradation continue, all of the world’s top soil will be gone in 60 years. This would be the end of farming as we know it.

“Creating a Conscious Planet is possible only by raising human consciousness. It is important for all – particularly leaders whose decisions affect millions of lives – to be conscious and inclusive.”
– Sadhguru

Conscious Planet Rally
To activate and demonstrate the support of over 3 billion citizens, Sadhguru will be riding a motorcycle alone over 30,000 kilometers, across 24 nations.
The rally will start in London, and travel to southern India, where the Cauvery Calling project initiated by Sadhguru has enabled 125,000 farmers to plant 62 million trees to revive water and soil.
About Us
The Conscious Planet movement is an effort to raise individual human consciousness and instill a sense of inclusiveness such that human activity becomes oriented towards responsible environmental action. In this unique undertaking, global leaders are uniting behind a common purpose to address the ecological degeneration of the Soil. Recognizing our responsibility to our children and future generations, it is critical to leave behind a planet capable of producing nutritious food, and align human activity to be supportive of nature and all life on our planet.
The initiative aims to bring about this shift by:
- Raising awareness of this mounting ecological issue
- Educating the public about solutions
- Inspiring at least 3 billion people (60% of the world’s electorate of 5.26 billion) to ask for and elect an environmentally-conscious leadership to drive national policy changes toward raising the organic content of soil up to at least 3%.
In this urgent, global endeavor, we invite your support. The true success of this project is to make humanity come together as one to secure the future of all life and our planet.
