The Preparations - the Heart of Bio- dynamic Agriculture

Report from the Agriculture Conference at the Goetheanum in Dornach/Switzerland 2018

Contents
Dear Readers,
The conference on the preparations in February 2018 which brought together more than 900 people to the Goetheanum from 47 countries, was a lively, deep and inspiring experience. The articles published in this book- let represent a concentrated extract drawn from some of the lectures, professional groups and workshops. We hope that this will make the key content of the conference more widely accessible. The theme of the preparations as well as many other key themes for biodynamic agriculture are continually worked on at the Section for Agriculture. We always welcome donations to support our work (see bank details below). Many thanks,
Ueli Hurter
