VATICAN (ChurchMilitant.com) - The Rockefeller Foundation, notorious for promoting abortion and the LGBT agenda, is sponsoring a two-day Vatican conference under the auspices of Pope Francis and the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.

The conference, titled "Reduction of Food Loss and Waste," is being held at the Casina Pio IV on Nov. 11–12 and includes speakers from other pro- abortion bodies including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Nestle
, recently criticized for using aborted fetal cell lines to test artificial flavor enhancers in partnership with biotech firm Senomyx, is also a participant at the conference. Last week, environmental activists attacked the Swiss multinational food and drink corporation for its plans to bottle more than a million gallons of water a day from natural springs in Florida.

The Vatican symposium also includes climate alarmist groups like GreenFaith, who promote "eco-prayers and rituals" from diverse religious traditions and who have declared a "climate emergency."

The European Commission and United Nations are also represented. Speakers will share their views on the role faith-based communities may play for halving food loss and waste by 2030.

"Beyond its economic and environmental toll, food loss and waste is also a moral and ethical issue," says Bp. Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, in his address to the conference. Sorondo came under fire last year for claiming that Communist China best applies the social doctrine of the Church.
