Ecclesiastical Agriculture
Ecclesiastical Agriculture is farming practiced within religious communities or monasteries, often guided by spiritual principles. Historically, monasteries cultivated land not only to sustain themselves but also to serve charitable and spiritual purposes. This form of agriculture emphasizes stewardship of the land, sustainable practices, and integrates religious values such as humility, preservation, and service. While traditional in origin, its principles influence modern sustainable farming and community-based agriculture, blending spiritual dedication with practical land management to promote environmental stewardship and social well-being.
