According to author, biologist and physician Martin Grassberger, soil is our most important resource. The all-determining processes behind it are micro-organisms. “We are soil,” explains Grassberger in the krone.tv talk with Jana Pasching, which means: What we feed on, what soil plants grow on, has a significant share in whether we are healthy as humans. However, the current development is worrying: “There is a decrease in microbiology in the soil, another branch of science shows us that the diversity of microbiology in our gut has also decreased. That leads to diseases.”
Above all, we have inequitable distribution, food is being destroyed and people are “focusing on the wrong things”. “The quality of the food is everything,” says Grassberger. A disruption in the microbiome is associated with obesity, as is a disruption in the sleep-wake cycle. “Everything fits together.”
It’s like a zoo, the biologist explains: “The enclosures are optimized for the different species because they have different needs. We should actually give people back their need for life, their habitat. And that’s not somewhere on the tenth floor in an office or in front of the TV.”
