Further, since much of the environmental degradation that leads to climate change is due to human activities, like agriculture, members of the mainline churches are encouraging a new form of framing code named “Farming God’s Way” (FGW), where people are taught how to make use of small pieces of land productively. While expounding on the concept of Farming God’s Way, Harry Spaling and Kendra Vander Kooy (2019) assert:

Farming God’s Way (FGW) is a type of conservation agriculture (CA) that re-interprets the CA principles of no tillage, mulching and crop rotation using biblical metaphors such as God doesn’t plow, God’s blanket, and the Garden of Eden. Through faith-based networks, FGW has spread throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, and beyond, as a development intervention for improving food security, adapting to climate change, and restoring soil productivity for resource-poor farming households.
