Evolving Agriculture and Food – Opening up Biodynamic Research.
Biodynamic farming is a growing movement with a high reputation among farmers and consumers. It is rooted in anthroposophy, an ontological system introduced by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) in the early 20th century. As such, biodynamic farming has a strong spiritual component, and both processes and effects are assumed to occur not only on the physical, but also on a metaphysical level. For example, the effect of the biodynamic preparations - defined natural remedies that are considered a core element of biodynamic farming - is explained by a facilitation of cosmic forces. Physical effects of the preparations can be measured with scientific methods, but the presumed mode of effect is not comprehensible with natural sciences until now. .....
