In their quest for consumerism and materialistic ware, the humans are least aware that each year the earth is losing lakhs of species of microbes, the nano lives in the soil that sustains and nurture plants and indirectly all life on the planet.

In an interview with American Television's The Daily Show host Trevor Noah, India's most pro-active Yog Guru Jaggi Vasudev alias Sadhguru said, "27,000 microbes are going extinct every year due to industrial farming across the globe, and no replenishment of organic matter in the soil. If this continues, then in 30-40 years we won't be able to grow food."

He has been traveling on his motorbike across the continents to appeal to common people, the governments, the advocacy groups, and the United Nations to realize the catastrophic impact of the rapid loss of nutrition generating microbes from the soil.
