Living Farms

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.

#13 Policy Work and Biodynamics - Chances and Challenges

|   Living Farms - Podcast

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.
