Rudolf Steiner / Anthropsosophy / Biodynamics
Rudolf Steiner was an unusually gifted person whose ideas have been used successfully in many fields besides agriculture, including finance, education, medicine and architecture.
Biodynamics was a name given to the ideas and ideals, principles and practices offered by Rudolf Steiner for agriculture by a group of early adopters - not by Steiner himself. Steiner was concerned with renewing agriculture out of a renewed understanding of life on earth, of human and cultural development. He was deeply concerned about the degeneration of agriculture (as with other aspects of human civilization) and made every effort to show how life is not just a materialistic / mechanistic reality, but that spiritual and psychological realities actually are the more significant and at the foundation of all life. Anthroposophical agriculture (biodynamics) is an attempt to renew agriculture along these lines. Anthroposophical agriculture, often today referred to as biodynamics, is practiced successfully around the world, in many countries, cultures and ecological conditions.
Although biodynamics can be understood in many ways, it is foremostly an attempt to understand how nature works, how the substances, forces and beings at work in nature interact and form a whole, living physiology - and how to work successfully, naturally and ethically within nature's system of substances, forces and beings.
On this page in the coming weeks and months, I will post quite a bit of additional information about biodynamics, along with links to many other biodynamic sites... Thank you for your patience while we construct this site and please come back soon....
