BIO-DYNAMIC FARMERS BACKBONE OF A SPIRITUAL (R)EVOLUTION

Victor Landa

"THIS IS A PROBLEM OF NUTRITION..." was the astonishing reply that Dr. Rudolf
Steiner gave to Ehrenfried Pfeiffer when he asked why is it that your followers to
whom you give so much spiritual impulse seem to be having so little spiritual growth.
He continues:
"NUTRITION AS IT IS TODAY DOES NOT SUPPLY THE STRENGTH
NECESSARY FOR MANIFESTING THE SPIRIT IN PHYSICAL LIFE. A
BRIDGE CAN NO LONGER BE BUILT FROM THINKING TO WILL AND
ACTION. FOOD PLANTS NO LONGER CONTAIN THE FORCES PEOPLE
USED FOR THIS."
This quote from the inspiring lectures of Dr. Steiner published in the book
"Agriculture" speaks very clearly of the role of Biodynamic farming in the process of
human and planetary evolution.

The following article is an interpretation of Dr. Steiner's message to the
Biodynamic farmer as seen by one who is totally new to the area of farming and is
extremely impressed by the scope and depth of the farmer's role in a spiritual
process.
Dr. Steiner reminds us of the need for meditation. It seems but natural, then,
that the farm become a learning center for the spiritual truth of man.
