Abstract
The Covid-19 Pandemic raised discussions around the central theme of valuing life at the expense of the unbridled search for profit.It revealed the precariousness of agri-food systems based on industrial agriculture. Ensuring that everyone has equal opportunities, living in community and sharing the surplus are values cultivated by the first Christian communities. This article proposes to revisit the Christian values of solidarity and sharing, proposing alternatives for planetary living based on them, recalling mainly the 2020Pope Francis’ Fratelli TuttiEncyclical Letter. It's about prioritizing people's well-being over capital.
