Description & Specifications

Biodynamics originated from Rudolf Steiner's Agricultural Course, a series of lectures he gave in 1924. Today, it is an inspiring global movement that brings uniquely holistic, organic farming to farms, vineyards, and gardens. In this comprehensive and fascinating history, Bernard Jarman, former Director of the Biodynamic Agricultural Association of England, traces the development of biodynamics in Britain from its arrival in 1928 to the present day. He presents interesting personal biographical sketches of biodynamic pioneers such as Daniel Dunlop, George Adams, Lili Kolisko, Marna Pease, and Ehrenfried Pfeiffer, and includes accounts of early discoveries, such as the research that led to the development of Maria Thun's Biodynamic Calendar, as well as later initiatives like Community Supported Agriculture. Jarman also examines critical moments in the movement's history, including the emergence of two competing biodynamic organizations in the 1930s and 1940s, and the flourishing of the broader organic movement in post-war Britain, as well as the challenges posed by genetically modified crops. This insightful book provides an important historical overview and foundation for the biodynamic movement as it looks to the future.
