(ANSA) – ROME, JUN 21 – “Agriculture is a human activity that ensures the production of primary goods and is a source of great values. Today we appreciate more than ever this productive activity in a time marked by war, because the lack of Wheat production starves peoples and keeps them in check. The absurd choices of investing in weapons rather than agriculture make Isaiah’s dream of turning swords into plows, spears into sickles come back today “. This is what the Italian bishops affirm in the Message of the CEI for the 72nd National Thanksgiving Day, scheduled for November 6, 2022.
Furthermore, the Church continues to “denounce the forms of mafia corruption and exploitation of the poor and wants to keep its hands free from links with the powers of invasive and destructive agromafies. Unfortunately, polluted lands are also the result of silence and indifference. “.
“Not infrequently an action infiltrates the agricultural activity that creates great economic, social and environmental imbalances. The flourishing activity of agromafies is now widely documented in some Italian regions, causing sectors to slide towards the underground economy. and traditionally healthy subjects, involving them in networks of corrupt relationships. Money laundering or the pollution of the land on which harmful substances are spilled, the phenomenon of ‘land of fires’ which highlight the damage suffered by farmers and the environment, victims of fires caused by criminal hands, they are examples of degradation. In companies captured by unjust dynamics, behaviors that threaten at the same time the quality of the food produced and the rights of the workers involved in production are reinforced. These are structures of sin that infiltrate the food production chain “, concludes the message. (HANDLE).
