Baha'i engagement in social action and public discourse related to agriculture and food systems was initiated by the Central Figures of the Faith during their lifetimes. The principles and activities They promoted were put into practice in several Baha'i villages, including 'Adasiyyih, which became a model community in Jordan under the guidance of 'Abdu'l-Baha. This presentation will highlight historic and current learning from Baha'i individuals, organizations, and communities who have made significant contributions to agriculture, through practical development activities and discourse.
