Ökologischer Landbau in der Evangelischen und Katholischen Kirche in Deutschland – ein Überblick

Summary

To follow the responsibility to preserve the creation, both the Protestant and the Catholic Church committed to the principle of sustainability. This also leads to a raising interest in both organic farming on agricultural property of the Church and organic food in church institutions. The first aim of the study was to get an overview of the current state of organic farming in both churches by means of a literature review. The second aim was to get insights into experience, obstacles and achievements of the churches regarding organic farming. This also included information on successful cooperation and future developments in this area. To achieve this second goal, expert interviews were conducted.
