Circular
We would like to invite you to order our circular letter. In it we compile twice a year, in summer and at Christmas, in-depth contributions on biodynamic agriculture and food management, which arise in the work stream of the Section. For example, in the winter issue 2020/2021 Ueli Hurter writes in detail about the climate conference in February 2021 with a reflection on Rudolf Steiner's Michael letter "From Nature to Subnature". This issue also includes a contribution by Hans-Christian Zehnter on carbon, mindfulness and the future of the Earth. Jasmin Peschke and Jean-Michel Florin address for the first time the annual theme for 2021/2022, with which we want to focus on quality. There are reports from Argentina and India on the situation in their respective countries during the Corona period. A further contribution frames the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to the World Food Program and presents the connection between hunger and peace.
Like the Section, the circular is international in scope. The individual contribution - be it in practice or research - is not primarily classified regionally or nationally, but an attempt is made to speak into the horizon of the great challenges of our time - such as climate change, world hunger, food quality. The question is always: What is the contribution of us humans?
The circular is available in English, French and German. You can order it with the form on this website, or agriculture@goetheanum.ch or +41 61 706 4212. Please indicate whether you would like to receive it by post or digitally. We do not charge a fee for it and you can unsubscribe at any time.
