Biodynamic perspectives worldwide

The Section for Agriculture invites the worldwide biodynamic movement to join the discussion.

This is the opportunity to put forward ideas, strategies, principles and approaches in current biodynamic practice, research, training and processing. The debate focuses in particular on how to work with the current challenges of our times.

Have you always wanted to find out what actually underlies biodynamic agriculture, how the research on this is carried out, how it has developed and who is currently leading the movement?

Or are you interested in how biodynamic ideas such as the agricultural organism, land-based animal husbandry and the training of perception are currently put into practice in different parts of the world?

Then you have come to the right place. The podcast is intended for all those who are curious to learn more about biodynamic agriculture and its approaches to solving our present-day problems.

#14 Biodynamic Bee-Keeping

|   Living Farms - Podcast

In this podcast we are talking about why bees are great and what differentiates biodynamic bee-keeping from other forms of apiculture. We talk about the fascination of the little insects and what they help us to develop in ourselves, our surrounding  landscapes and in the world.

Dr. Johannes Wirz was the co-leader of the Research Institute at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland. He has a dissertation in molecular genetics at the University of Basel and does several projects on honeybee research. He is a member of the board at Mellifera e.V. in Germany and has profound experience in bee education, Goetheanum science, Anthroposophy and meditation.
