This concise and fascinating history of the development of biodynamics in Britain is written by the former Director of the Biodynamic Agriculture Association, UK and includes portraits of biodynamic pioneers such as Ehrenfried Pfeiffer and Marna Pease.
Biodynamics grew out of Rudolf Steiner's Agriculture Course, a series of lectures he gave in 1924. It is now an inspirational worldwide movement bringing a uniquely holistic, organic agriculture to farms, vineyards and gardens.
Bernard Jarman presents engaging personal portraits of biodynamic pioneers, including Daniel Dunlop, George Adams, Lili Kolisko, Marna Pease and Ehrenfried Pfeiffer, showing how their lives and perspectives shaped the movement. It describes early discoveries, including research that led to the development of the Maria Thun Biodynamic Almanac, and later initiatives, such as Community Supported Agriculture.
The Biodynamic Movement in Britain also examines key moments in the history of the movement, including the emergence of two rival biodynamic organisations in the 1930s and 40s, and the flourishing of the wider 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 grounding for the biodynamic movement as it looks to its future.
