Homoeopathic agriculture pioneers
At the end of 2006, Glen Atkinson was
teaching at The Biodynamic Agricultural College in
the UK. The course facilitator had arranged for Enzo Nastati
to attend to meet Glen. It was made possible for Enzo to address students for a
two hour session through his interpreter Claudio Zenette. In this brief
time Enzo outlined the farm individuality and the innovative approach
which he and his colleagues have developed upon the basis of biodynamic
agriculture. It left everyone hungry for more and in no doubt that we were listening
to something a bit special. Three
days were then arranged in May of
2007 to deepen familiarity in the UK. A week long introductory course took place in January
2008, a shorter more in depth course in November 2009 outlining Enzo's ever evolving
method of agriculture.
Working on seed regeneration has given Enzo a chance to study
the intimate laws of plant development. Thanks to the study of the
planetary and zodiacal laws that regulate the development of the plant
kingdom, he has been able to strengthen varieties of plants. A
thorough study of the biodynamic preparations and their use has been
extremely useful to achieve this goal.
This research focused upon the influence of the preparations and, secondly,
ways to set the farmer free from an over-rigid connection with the
macrocosmic laws of timing that can arise when using an agricultural
calendar. This is how the application of potentised remedies to the plant kingdom
began.
In these years of study, research and experimentation, the fields of
interest have gradually increased and there are now 150 preparations
for agriculture alone which now include products for purification
of plants and soils, repellents for parasites and weeds, stimulators
of the principal functions of the plant, seed
baths
that stimulate particular impulses in the plants, and microclimatic
products that help the plants suffering from meteorological stress,
etc.
Enzo has gradually expanded its efforts abroad and
has active collaborators around the world. Many of its publications are now translated into English.
