ARC Faith in Food workshop, Delhi
Faith in Food workshop organised by ARC in Delhi, India, for faith representatives to discuss how to be faith-consistent in the food we eat, grow and buy.
The workshop, in January 2011, was attended by representatives of Baha’ism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Sikhism, as well as Dr Vandana Shiva, one of India’s leading environmental activists.
Dr Shiva told the delegages every faith shared an understanding of the sanctity of life and the integrity of creation. Every faith also shared a sense of the importance of food: “Every religion says feed the hungry. Every religion says feed good food – no one says give bad food to the poor, no one says let your neighbour starve," she said.
“Every faith talks about the economics of greed as being a sin. If you add it all up, it’s an unjust system. I think people of faith should see it as an outrage," she said.
