How Soil resources Shape the Quality of Human Life

Human beings play a pivotal role against the loss of biodiversity in the soil. This can be done through growing greener places, investing in biodiversity research, raising awareness and sustainable management of soil resources.

Research indicates that that in 1 gram of health soils, there exist more organisms as compared to the total number of people in the entire world. The soil inhabits organisms such as the tardigrade, ants, worms and moles. 

As the world celebrated this year’s #WorldSoilDay on December 5 in a theme dubbed soil biodiversity, it was observed that soil inhabits more than 25% of the earth’s biodiversity. It was also noted that 95% of food consumed by human beings come from soil.

According to the United Nations, healthy soils are important in the provision of clean water, adaptations to climatic change and the achievement of food security. Soil protection forms the basis of the security of future generations.

In essence, the quality of soil and water is the determinant factor in the quality of people’s life. Everything that is consumed by human beings comes from the soil. Soil is life and without it there’s no life.

The destruction of soil resources diminishes the existence of life on earth. Greener environment is essential for soil conservation because trees restore soil health which in turn results to clean water that is safe for human consumption.

United Nations Organization observes that Soil erosion is a great threat to food security and the general achievement of global goals.

According to Food and Agricultural organization (FAO), soil biodiversity helps in the growth of food,, fight climate change and development of new medicine.

How Musk's Neuralink Blindsight will allow the blind to see

  Scientists are still stunned by Elon Musk's plan to enable blind people to see, using his Neurolink's Brain Computer Interface chip dubbed Blindsight. Neurolink has already partnered with top Spanish scientists and US Santa Barbara to make a device called Blindsight, a smart Bionic Eye powered by brain implants and AI. Blindsight got the approval of the US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA), though there have been no human trials. Musk confided that Neurolink will perform its first human implant of Blindsight at the course of 2025. Will Neurolink's Blindsight allow Blind People to see? Blindsight is designed to enable people with total visual impairment, as a result of damaged optic nerve but with intact visual cortex, to see. This is enhanced by bypassing the optic nerve and stimulating the visual cortex to create a visual perception. Visual cortex is part of the brain that receives, integrates and processes visual information relayed from the retina.  Blindsigh...

How Human Brain will replace Smartphones in communication

Elon Musk envisiges a future where smartphones are obsolete and communication happens directly through the brain.  According to Musk, Neuralink the brain-computer interface that his company is developing, could eventually replace phones entirely. Imagine navigating the internet, sending and receiving text messages, or even making calls, all with just your thoughts. This sounds like fictional science. However, Musk believes the integration of humans and artificial intelligence is a necessary mileage for human evolution.  Neuralink’s potential extends far beyond convenience; it could disrupt the field of medicine, communication and the way we interact with technology forever. The future Musk envisions is not just coming, it's already in the pipeline. NEURALINK will make Smartphones completely obsolete. Neuralink is a company that was found by billionaire Elon Musk and develops brain-computer interface technology. Its goal is to connect the human brain to computers so as t...

Why Matiang'i comeback threatens Ruto's re-election bid

  Former Interior cabinet secretary Dr. Fred Matiang'i is a great rival to President William Ruto in his 2027 re-election contest. Matiang'i is set to give Ruto a run for his money, owing to his track record as a cabinet secretary in the previous regime.  Former President Uhuru Kenyatta trusted Matiang'i more than any other cabinet secretary due to his workaholic nature and might be forced to finance his presidential quest.  The former Interior CS is reportedly eyeing the presidential seat on a Jubilee ticket, as alluded by the party's secretary general Jeremiah Kioni. Ruto's dalliance with the doyen of opposition politics and ODM party leader Raila Odinga had complicated the opposition's quest to unseat the sitting Head of State. Matiang'i comeback seals the vaccum left by Raila's departure. Why Ruto might lose Kenya's presidential seat in 2027 Ahead of 2022 general elections in Kenya , President William Ruto promised Kenyans heaven on Earth onl...
