B Book Description
In 1924—in response to questions about the
depletion of soils and a general deterioration of crops and livestock—Rudolf
Steiner gave eight lectures on "the spiritual foundations for a renewal of
agriculture." Based on his suggestions and spiritual science, generations of
farmers, gardeners, viticulturist, and researchers developed biodynamics as a
healing, nurturing, holistic, ecological, organic, and spiritual approach to a
sustainable care of the Earth.
Biodynamic methods consider the farm or garden
to be a self-contained organism, embedded in the living landscape of the Earth,
which is in turn part of a living, dynamic cosmos of vital, spiritual energies.
The aim is to increase the health and vitality of the whole, including the
farmer or gardener. The biodynamic practitioner follows an alchemical,
transformative path of working with the Earth through the nine "homeopathic"
preparations created by Steiner.
What Is Biodynamics? collects seven seminal
lectures—four on developing a spiritual perception of nature and three from his
Agriculture Course, dealing with the preparations. Hugh Courtney of the
Josephine Porter Institute for Applied Biodynamics contributes an informative,
passionate, and visionary introduction.
Whether you are concerned with the quality of
agriculture and gardening in particular or have a broader interest in the
ecological crises facing us today, this book offers a transformative approach
that can truly change the way we live together on Earth.

Review
Adored by millions of consumers, countlee
produces worldwide ahve adopted organic as a successfull stratagy, and most
posh restaurants ahve jumped on the organic bandwagon with it's reputation
for being generally "Better". But better for whom, the fledgling organic
produce will sometimes ask, trying to navigate the complexiites and
pitfalls of creating an establishment that produces certifiably organic
foodstuffs. This book is American, so beware of potential irregularities
between US and UK legislation, but this does allow for quite an interesting
insight into the organic revolution in the States - where else could a
population the worships Big Mac also embrace a concept so entirely
opposite? Author Peter Vossel is of the determined opinion that organic is
best, which some might find hard to swallow, but he knows his subject, and
picking and choosing those parts that are relevant to the reader should
provide a decent blueprint about how to set up a small organic farm. Vossel
gives tips, illustrated with his own experience, on everythign to do with
organic farming, form identifying suitable land, avoiding debt, identifying
soil type suitablity for diffrent crops throguh to making compost, getting
the best out of your greenhouse, controlling bugs and pests successfully
selling at farmers amrkets. The book inc ludes chapters on organic
vegetables, livestock, and flowers, and concludes with a selection of
mouth-watering recipies to get you motivated. This is not an A-Z guidebook
on organic farming but should provide a useful overview for the beginner or
potential organic producer. --Farmers Guardian
