Abstract

The article focuses on the decline of family farming in America and the rise of corporate farming. Topics include the aging farmer population, the challenges of bioeconomy and monoculture farming, and Pope Francis's call for a spiritual connection with the land. It also discusses practical steps for Catholics to support family farms, such as hosting farmers' markets, buying local food, and potentially establishing parish farms.
