In this episode we talk about the potential of policy work for the biodynamic movement with Clara Behr. What are the challenges to reach policy makers? Why is it worth collaborating with political partners and where are limits for collaboration?

What can you, as an individual, a farmer or in any other role of your life do to integrate policy work on a day-to-day basis.

Clara Behr  is working as Head of Policy and Public Relations for the Biodynamic Federation Demeter International for three years now. Based in the Brussels office of the Federation, she is French and German and has a background in philosophy and politics. Before joining the Federation, Clara was involved in EU politics and worked for the organic and wine sector. The focus of her political work lies now on GMOs, seeds, and animal welfare, while advocating for biodynamic farming worldwide. With a coalition of other NGOs, she organised an EU-wide petition to maintain mandatory traceability and labelling for all GMOs on the market that collected more than 400 000 signatures in less than six months.
