We offer you a week of discovery of biodynamic agriculture.
Different speakers will talk about their experience as a breeder, market gardener, farmer, each time with a specific perspective on biodynamic agriculture, which was initiated by R. Steiner almost 100 years ago. The approach to the plant and animal kingdoms will be presented theoretically in the classroom and through practical observation in the field.
