The Save Soil Movement, launched as part of the spiritual leader's Conscious Planet initiative, is aimed at turning the world's attention towards dying soil and growing desertification.
London's Parliament Square was the flag off point for environmentalist Sadhguru's 30,000-km motorbike tour on Monday, as he set off on his Save Soil awareness campaign across Europe and the Middle East en route to India.
The 64-year-old yoga guru donned his biking gear for the 100-day tour ahead, which will take him to Amsterdam, Berlin and Prague over the course of this week on a BMW K1600 GT motorcycle.
After a series of events scheduled in key cities along the way, he is aiming for a homecoming in New Delhi in 75 days in honour of India's 75th year of independence.
"It's extremely important that we act now. I've been talking about this for over 24 years, but solution can only happen when there is positive policy in every nation," Sadhguru told reporters at the Indian High Commission here before setting off on his bike tour.
