Religion, Farming, and Biodiversity: Insights from PLANET4B’s Research

Can Christianity play a direct role in sustainable agriculture? Are churches ready to embrace biodiversity as part of their spiritual message? And what hands-on impact can local faith communities have when it comes to protecting nature, raising environmental awareness, and promoting sustainable practices?

These thought-provoking questions are at the heart of a News of the Reformed Church’s recent report, featuring insights from Ghezal Shabir — a researcher of PLANET4B and a colleague at FiBL.
