Agriculture and Food Issues
|
|
Agriculture touches all our lives, wherever
we live and how future generations will live.
Agriculture is not only how we grow food, but
how we treat those who bring food to our tables.
Agriculture is about the foods we choose for our families
and how we make sure the whole human family is fed.
Catholic teaching about the dignity of work
tells us that farmers must be able to support
themselves and their families through their work.
This means that they must be able to survive the risks
associated with production and price fluctuations in
the market. We recognize the great pain and stress
experienced when a family loses its farm.
Their loss is our loss.
Agriculture is about rural communities and the
quality of life in small towns surrounded by farmland.
What policies and programs are needed to maintain
viable, innovative and family-friendly rural areas?
