Welcome to the online course

Animals, Health and Resilience

Our responsibility for the land and the diverse role of animals

Welcome to the online learning platform of the Section of Agriculture. We are pleased that you have decided to discover more about the background of biodynamic agriculture. Together with Alysoun Bolger, Johannes Wirz and Jean-Michel Florin you will explore the diverse role of animals through three selected groups of animals, represented by the cow, the earthworm and the bee. What makes them so relevant for the health and resilience of a (farm) organism?

We have created this platform to give you access to all important information and documents of this course. If you have any concerns, need help, or would like to share your feedback please do not hesitate to contact us.

Alysoun Bolger

I am a biodynamic teacher, certifier and farmer’s wife. Having been involved in the training of biodynamic farmers, inspectors and consumers for the last 20 years, I now work for the Biodynamic Federation Demeter International on the Executive Board. I very much enjoy bringing a Goethean approach to applied practical work in agriculture. 

Jean-Michel Florin

Studied agriculture and nature conservation, coordinator of the biodynamic association in France (MABD) and trainer for bd farming, author and editor of books and journals, expert and speaker on the subjects: Goethean approach of nature, medicinal plants, landscape, viticulture, etc. Since 2010 Head of the Section for Agriculture.

Johannes Wirz

Studied molecular biology (Bio II) at the University of Basel. Scientific collaborator at the Research Institute at the Goetheanum. Developmental biology work on amphibians (R. temporaria, T. alpestris, T. helveticus). Various work on insects, including single-animal observations of butterflies (in particular M. galathea) in different biotopes, as well as projects on bee health and beekeeping. Another focus of the work is genetics; in particular the relationship between genotype and phenotype.
