Contents

This "Agricultur Course" was held in 1924 for a group of farmers from the anthroposophical movement. The method of cultivation known as "biodynamic" developed from it. However, the course does not simply give instructions or recipes that can be handled at will, but rather forms the starting point for a new orientation and for a broadening of the view of the spiritual foundations of agriculture.
