Sadhguru addressed the largest Save Soil event till date with 10,000 people in attendance at Dubai World Trade Centre. The Save Soil Movement also signed MOU with International Centre for Biosaline Agriculture (ICBA) to protect soil in UAE. “If you add organic content to sand it becomes soil, if you take away all the organic content from the soil it becomes sand. That is what the UAE is doing… adding organic content to the sand and making it soil. It is a commendable direction that it has taken”, said Sadhguru heaping praise on UAE in his last public address in Dubai as part of his Save Soil journey.
