If we imagine the entire world is one ecosystem, Soil Health (soil microorganisms) plays an important role in supply of Food chain. Soil health depends on our Agricultural practices, Technologies we are using, utilization of Natural Resources etc. I believe Livestock is the only solution for integrated sustainable Agriculture. In India Crop-Livestock system is the predominant and its very good system for Agriculture in the entire world. Unfortunately, India moving far away from Crop-Livestock System. As per FAO, soil health is plant health and Human health and its continuation I say Livestock Health is Soil Health.

Education Institutes should work on People, Livestock and Environment relation with soil health. Depending on Agro climatic conditions they should work.

For Example, in India availability land is big challenge, with limited land we have to produce food for human and Livestock at the same time population of Livestock and human increasing. Here crop-livestock system will solve the problem. Produced grains are utilized by human and crop residues, Grain by products utilized by Livestock. Here Education Institutions should start their role, they shoal develop dual purpose crops, synergetic cropping system, drought resistant crops.
