Transforming Food Systems: From Ideas to Action with Paul Hanley Food systems are a central concern in contemporary discourse on environmental issues, climate, Indigenous sovereignty, and economic justice. In 2019, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization identified a set of principles and best practices to achieve just and sustainable food and agricultural systems. Remarkably, all these practices had been put in place over 100 years ago in the Bahá'í village of 'Adasíyyih, which became a model farming community in Jordan. This presentation will show how discourse and social action inaugurated by the Báb, Bahá'u'lláh, and 'Abdu'l-Bahá guided individuals, communities, and institutions in several countries to make pioneering contributions to regenerative agriculture and progressive rural development.
