From 30^th August until 2^nd September 2021 the 2nd International Conference on Biodynamic Research (BDRC21) will take place.  Altogether ten partners have met to organise a varied, broad programme for the conference.

The event will take place digitally to include people from all over the world, fitting the various time zones across the globe.

At the conference we would like to encourage conversation on the theme “Growing beyond Resilience”.  We are putting together academic, participative, and practice-led research from farming work and the food system.  We are inviting people to put critical questions on resilience: what concepts are there at present?  How are they being lived out?  Are they fostering or hindering further development?  What forces are needed to move beyond present conditions?

Overall besides key note presentations by, among others, Patrick Holden (Sustainable Food Trust), Jean-Michel Florin (Section for Agriculture) and Saskia von Diest (Ecofluency) there will be more than 60 people giving presentations, representatives from 15 countries.

Apart from the talks there will be opportunities for conversational exchanges in the form of discussion rounds, or else limbering up exercises in front of the screen. 

We are looking forward to fostering biodynamic research with you, to developing it further and thus to meeting the current challenges, such as climate change, constructively.
