WHEREAS the church must be concerned about the long-term production capability of our soil, we add our voice to those who are asking for action on this matter:
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the 31st General Council requests the General Secretary of General Council to invite the federal, provincial and territorial governments to develop comprehensive soil conservation policies which include financial incentives to farmers to help defray the cost of such conservation practices.
