Understanding the Problem

Bhumi tackles three major environmental challenges: crop burning, soil degradation, and plastic pollution. These issues harm our air, land, and water, threatening both environmental and human health. Sustainable solutions are crucial for a healthier planet and future generations.

Crop Burning

Every year, farmers across the globe resort to burning crop residues to clear their fields for the next planting season. This practice releases large amounts of pollutants into the air, significantly contributing to air pollution and climate change. The smoke from crop burning contains harmful substances such as particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds, which pose serious health risks to nearby communities.

Bhumi is committed to providing sustainable alternatives to crop burning. By supporting farmers in adopting eco-friendly practices, we aim to protect both their livelihoods and the environment.

Premature Annual Deaths

Crop burning contributes significantly to air pollution, releasing harmful pollutants and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This practice not only affects the health of nearby communities but also contributes to global climate change.

%

Increase in Respiratory Diseases

Exposure to smoke from crop burning can lead to respiratory problems and other health issues, particularly among vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly.

Tons of CO2 Released Annually

The practice of crop burning depletes soil nutrients and disrupts local ecosystems, leading to long-term environmental degradation and reduced agricultural productivity.

Soil Health: The Foundation of Life

Healthy soil is the cornerstone of sustainable agriculture, vital for supporting plant growth, water filtration, and carbon sequestration. However, modern agricultural practices are degrading this essential resource. Overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, deforestation, and poor land management lead to soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and a loss of biodiversity. This degradation not only reduces agricultural productivity but also exacerbates environmental issues such as water pollution and reduced carbon sequestration.

Bhumi is dedicated to promoting practices that enhance soil health. Through initiatives like organic farming, crop rotation, and the use of natural fertilizers, we aim to restore soil fertility and ensure long-term agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability.

Topsoil Loss in the Last 150 Years

Half of the world’s topsoil has been lost due to erosion, deforestation, and unsustainable farming practices. This loss severely impacts agricultural productivity and ecological balance.

Annual Cost of Soil Erosion

Soil erosion incurs significant economic costs, affecting agricultural productivity and causing loss of arable land, amounting to an estimated $44 billion annually.

%

Reduction in Soil Fertility

Due to erosion and chemical use, soil fertility has decreased by up to 70%, threatening sustainable agriculture and food security.

Plastic Pollution: A Global Crisis

Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time. Millions of tons of plastic waste enter the oceans each year, harming marine life and ecosystems. On land, plastic waste clogs our cities and landscapes, contributing to soil and water pollution. The widespread use of single-use plastics has exacerbated this problem, creating a throwaway culture that is hard to break.

Bhumi is tackling plastic pollution by developing biodegradable alternatives and promoting recycling initiatives. Our goal is to reduce plastic waste and encourage sustainable consumption habits.

Plastic Waste Entering Oceans Annually

Every year, approximately 8 million tons of plastic enter the oceans, harming marine life and ecosystems. This amount is equivalent to a garbage truck full of plastic being dumped into the ocean every minute.

%

Plastic Never Recycled

A staggering 91% of all plastic produced is never recycled, leading to a significant accumulation of plastic waste in the environment. This low recycling rate highlights the need for better waste management and increased recycling efforts.

Time for Plastic to Decompose

Plastic waste can take up to 500 years to decompose, causing long-term environmental damage. During this time, plastic breaks down into microplastics, which infiltrate our food and water systems, posing health risks to humans and wildlife.
