Agriculture will have to feed eight billion people in the future. At the same time, it is primarily responsible for environmental problems such as species extinction and soil erosion, which are destroying its foundation. It is, therefore, high time to rethink agriculture internationally – and biodynamics can help here.
The birth of biodynamic agriculture a century ago was a momentous event, marked by significant social upheavals that resonate with the present. A group of farmers sought advice from Rudolf Steiner, leading to his eight lectures on agriculture in 1924. These lectures, known as the 'Agricultural Course ', continue to shape biodynamic agriculture today.
Then, as now, biodynamics offered solutions. Based on its 100 years of existence, it answers questions about climate change, preserving biodiversity, and healthy nutrition. For the next 100 years, the question arises as to what responsibility humans can assume to build up the earth's living organisms and develop them further healthily.
