Biodynamic agriculture, a holistic farming approach that originated in central Europe, has gained widespread adoption across the globe. At its core, the biodynamic approach revolves around eight preparations, known as "horn manure," "horn silica," "yarrow," "chamomile," "nettle," "oak bark," "dandelion," and "valerian," which are meticulously crafted by local biodynamic practitioners using time-honored recipes. While these preparations have their roots in Europe, the biodynamic approach has evolved to adapt to the diverse needs and challenges of different regions across the world.
In a groundbreaking study conducted by the Agricultural Section at the Goetheanum, Switzerland, the utilization of these biodynamic preparations in fifteen countries worldwide has been meticulously examined. The detailed case studies within this book shed light on how these preparations are tailored to suit the unique climatic conditions, fauna, seasons, and regulations of each respective region. Contributors to this insightful work include renowned experts such as Ueli Hurter, Dr. R. Ingold, Dr. M. Kolar, J. Schönfelder, Dr. A. Sedlmayr, and A. van Leewen.
This book serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the production and application of these preparations globally. It provides a deep understanding of the work of practitioners and their evolving perspectives over time. Moreover, it serves as an inspiring endorsement of the enduring principles of biodynamic agriculture, demonstrating how they can thrive in diverse environments and contribute to sustainable farming practices.
