ÁMSTERDAM, June 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

La Amsterdam Declaration se centra en la necesidad de una acción inmediata para salvaguardar los suelos - vital para el suministro de alimentos - para las generaciones futuras  

"Por favor, cuidar de este planeta. Cultivarlo y pasarlo de forma responsable, nosotros podemos hacer lo mismo. Por favor, cuidar la tierra". Esta es la petición urgente, en nombre del Youth Food Movement y de los niños del mundo, realizada por Nyakallo Makgoba, de 20 años, durante la ceremonia de cierre de la conferencia Celebrating Soil! Celebrating Life! celebrada el pasado viernes en Ámsterdam.

Hablando acerca del evento respaldado por la ONU acerca de la importancia del suelo para los suministros de alimentos, Nyakallo Makgoba y Joszi Smeets del Youth Food Movement, pidieron a los delegados, incluyendo ministros, realeza y líderes empresariales, que dejaran de llevar a cabo la erosión del suelo y su degradación.

La apelación se cumplió con un sentimiento profundo de silencio. Entonces, Meike, de ocho años y procedente de los Países Bajos, cogió la Amsterdam Declaration por encima de su cabeza y lideró el camino con un estruendo de aplausos.

El momento ha dejado claro de lo que trata realmente el evento, siendo un encuentro de líderes espirituales, ONGs, líderes empresariales, activistas y políticos, que se ha celebrado en el Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) de Ámsterdam los días 26 y 27 de junio.

Con 24.000 millones de toneladas de suelo, con un valor de 1.500 billones de euros (10[12]) perdidos al año, esto no son simples estadísticas - sin suelo fértil, los objetivos de seguridad de los alimentos son inviables. Con el apoyo de estrellas como Julia Roberts se añade peso, y el atractivo para la siguiente generación es lo que ha servido para tener un gran impacto.

Como parte de la 'Amsterdam' Declaration, los delegados prometieron trabajar para salvar los suelos fértiles. La declaración impulsa con fuerza hacia una agricultura orgánica, declarando que debe ser reconocida como solución fundamental para la biodiversidad, seguridad climática y de alimentación.

Acción en forma de guerrilla 

A primera hora del viernes, un grupo de VIPs llevaron a cabo acción de jardinería en forma de guerrilla en la calzada de Ámsterdam. Entre los participantes estaba la autora-activista Vandana Shiva, Volkert Engelsman (consejero delegado de Nature & More), Jefe Arvol Looking Horse (líder espiritual de los Sioux) y Joszi Smeets (director del Youth Food Movement).

Esgrimiendo espadas, cortaron placas del pavimento de Ámsterdam con un gesto simbólico, antes de añadir abono y plantar semillas orgánicas.

Volkert Engelsman, quien lidera la coalición Save Our Soils, comentó: "Los agricultores que cuidan de los suelos son los médicos del futuro. Pero los consumidores son el 'gigante dormido': solo si compran con bolsas realizadas con productos que mantienen el suelo de la tierra se llevará a cabo el cambio".
