permaculture

[DONKA RADEVA <donnybg@yahoo.com>]

Hi permies,
Does anybody know a web-page or free resources of books about biodynamic 
farming? I need for my science goals to define from a book or a science 
article what biodynamic farming is, but there is nothing in my science 
databases about biodynamic ...
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best wishes from Bulgaria,
Donka Radeva

Hello Donka,

 The Biodynamic Association (BDA) is a nonprofit association of individuals, 
groups, and organizations who are committed to rethinking agriculture through 
healthy food, healthy soil, and healthy farms.Founded in 1938, the BDA is 
considered to be the oldest sustainable agriculture organization in North 
America. Biodynamics was developed in the early 1920s by the Austrian 
philosopher and social reformer Rudolf Steiner. Steiner is considered one of 
the pioneers of the organic farming movement and biodynamics is considered by 
many to be the most advanced and holistic form of organic farming and 
gardening on the planet. Over the past 77 years, biodynamic practitioners 
have played a key role in the renewal of agriculture—helping pioneer the 
early organic farming movement; inspiring the work of Silent Spring author 
Rachel Carson; piloting the first community supported agriculture (CSA) 
programs; and demonstrating how to bring health and flavor back into our 
food. Michael "Skeeter" Pilarski

Jean-Paul Courtens with his wife Jody Bolluyt and their three children
Nick, Johannes and Annemarie, live in Kinderhook Columbia County, NY.
Jean-Paul completed four years of training at Warmonderhof (link is
external) <http://www.warmonderhof.nl/dnn/default.aspx> in biodynamic
agriculture and Jody is a graduate of Iowa State. They own and operate Roxbury
Farm (link is external) <http://www.roxburyfarm.com/> which was founded in
1990. Roxbury Farm is a 375-acre diversified operation producing
vegetables, hay, beef, lamb, pork and chicken. The farm is in association
with 1400 membership families in NYC, Westchester County, Columbia County,
and the Capital District. Roxbury Farm is protected to be in the hands of
small farmers forever. In collaboration with the Open Space Institute (link
is external) <http://www.osiny.org/site/PageServer> the farmland is
protected from development. In collaboration with Equity Trust (link is
external) <http://www.equitytrust.org/>, a model ground lease was
implemented to ensure long-term land and housing affordability.

   - Soil Fertility, Renewal and Preservation (link is external)

 While not an introductory book, a core text for understanding biodynamics
is Rudolf Steiner <https://www.biodynamics.com/steiner.html>'s "Agriculture
Course," the series of lectures he gave to European farmers in 1924 which
initiated the biodynamic movement. The lectures assume a background in
Steiner's philosophy and terminology, so newcomers to Steiner's work may
not find the Agriculture Course to be very accessible. There are several
editions available, but we recommend Agriculture: Spiritual Foundations for
the Renewal of Agriculture (link is external)
<http://steinerbooks.org/Books/BookDetail.aspx?productID=180>, translated
from the original German by Catherine E. Creeger and Malcolm Gardner. This
text is also available as an audio recording (link is external)
<http://www.rudolfsteineraudio.com/agriculture/agriculture.html>.
