The International Conference on Biodynamic Research (BDRC) offers networking opportunities for researchers, farmers and other interested parties.
It serves the worldwide scientific exchange and forms the basis for newly developing collaborations. The Section for Agriculture places particular emphasis on an interdisciplinary approach in order to gather as much professional knowledge and practical expertise as possible from farms and research institutes.
The next BDRC is expected to take place in 2025.
The second BRDC took place online from 31 August to 2 September 2021. The conference was devoted to the topic "Growing beyond resilience".
With its inter- and transdisciplinary approach, the conference combined scientific, participative and practical research in order to discuss the concept of resilience in biodynamic and organic farming and food systems. This enabled urgent challenges such as climate change, loss of biodiversity, loss of soil quality and human disease to be addressed and constructive solutions shared.

The first BDRC in 2018 focused on the topic of "Research in the biodynamic farming and food industries". Over 180 participants gathered to listen to around 100 presentations and to network. The BDRC was the first conference where researchers and practitioners were able to get together to discuss biodynamic agricultur.
