How would that look?

The purpose of the Agriculture Working Group (AWG) of the Association for Bahá'í Studies is to learn how to contribute more effectively and coherently to the discourses in society about agriculture in light of the truths found in the Bahá'í Writings. Baha’u’llah states that "Special regard must be paid to agriculture," adding that it must "unquestionably" precede other principles. We are led to understand that peace cannot be fully secured until the pivotal role of agriculture
is recognized and implemented.
