Church/supermarkets/farmers

Church urges supermarkets to give farmers a fairer deal

I have chosen this article for two reasons mainly. The first one is that I wasn't really interested in any of the other articles on the page: war in Iraq, terrorism,... the usual stuff. The second reason is that I found the headline striking. I think it is the combination of the three ideas: church, supermarkets and farmers.
The content of the article is OK. The Church of England is asking big supermarkets to treat farmers better, so that the agricultural sector does not suffer so much. They ask for codes of practice to protect farmers, as well as a specific ombudsman.
I can't imagine the Spanish Catholic church doing the same!
