Biodynamics 2024

There is growing attention being directed to the environment and climate change.
It is the farmers and gardeners who have greatest opportunity to restore soil
moisture, regenerate the environment and reverse the build up of carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere.

Biodynamics is becoming recognised in Australia as a practical approach to farming and gardening. Biodynamic farmers are achieving viability, quality production and contributing to the manifestation of Agri-Culture.

This is the third time I have been involved in changing Australian agriculture and my experience is that it takes 20 -30 years. My objective is that biodynamics
be the farming method of choice in Australia by 2024.

My passion for biodynamics, initially sparked by the possibility of building humus into soils and developing a certain drought tolerance across Australia, expanded through the recognition that farmers can regain control of their farm economy and restore self-and community respect for the quality food and fibre they produce.

In time, as I came to study more of Rudolf Steiner’s work, I realised that biodynamics is about nutrition, principally human nutrition but including the wider global environmental health and well-being.

In more recent times I have also come to recognise how biodynamics can contribute to the re-imaging of our economic life and Biodynamics2024 will be a manifestation of this potential.


Farming
Biodynamics2024 cultivates biodynamic agriculture across Australia. Supported by this environmentally sound, science-based method, farmers achieve viability and produce high quality food and fibre, while simultaneously retaining their autonomy as respected stewards of the land.

Gardening
Biodynamics2024 provides ecologically sound practices for all gardeners. Gardens not only secure green sanctuaries among urban sprawl – but also habitats for native flora and fauna. Biodynamic homegrown fruit and vegetables secure high quality, cost effective, nutrition, while reducing the impact of foodmiles on the environment.
