For over 40 years, the DOK trial, the world’s most important long-term field experiment, has been comparing biodynamic, organic, and conventional farming systems under identical conditions. Over time, it has become clear that in the biodynamic variant, the carbon content in the soil increases significantly. As a result, soil fertility rises and humus formation is sustainably promoted. This is all the more remarkable given that a global trend is emerging in the opposite direction: many arable soils are losing fertility over time.

See these impressive results for yourself: you are warmly invited to visit the DOK trial in Therwil. On the public visit day on 17 June, the most important findings will be presented, and you will have the opportunity to ask your questions directly on site.

The Section for Agriculture is organizing a group so that we can attend the visit day together and receive a guided tour with a focus on biodynamics. Would you like to be part of this group? Then please register by 15 May at sektion.landwirtschaft@goetheanum.ch or call our office on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Fridays at +41 61 706 42 12. We look forward to your registration.
