The breadth of topics and approaches that are currently the focus of biodynamic research
came prominently and proudly to the fore in September 2025 when the 3rd International
Biodynamic Research conference convened at the Royal Agricultural University, Cirencester,
England. This was a momentous event, held in the oldest agricultural college (now university) in
the English-speaking world and attended in-person by over one-hundred and eighty delegates
from 28 countries around the globe.

It was evident to all who attended the conference that biodynamic researchers have developed
a global community of practice that befits an agri-culture seeking to comprehend the
multiplicity and complexity of the lifeworld. The contents of this publication attest to these
efforts and provides concrete examples of biodynamic research in practice.

The topics addressed at the conference – many of which are reproduced in these proceedings
- were wide ranging. They considered themes that are clearly of concern in all agricultural
contexts: the ecosystem and the environment, food and nutrition, soil, the economy, seeds,
plants and animals. They also delved into topics unique to biodynamics or from a uniquely
biodynamic perspective: agriculture and social life, the biodynamic preparations, rhythms in
nature and agriculture, and the Farm organism.
