Rudolf Steiner (1861 – 1925) is the founding father of biodynamic farming, and importantly, this wasn’t his sole focus in life. Steiner studied science, philosophy, drama, medicine, architecture, and more; he created the Waldorf School of Education in 1919. Steiner wrote and presented a series of eight lectures in 1924 which, as a whole, define biodynamic farming. To truly understand this way of farming, read the full collection of lectures in Steiner’s Agriculture Course: The Birth of the Biodynamic Method. | Rudolf Steiner (1861 – 1925) is the founding father of biodynamic farming, and importantly, this wasn’t his sole focus in life.

The emphasis on soil health in biodynamic farming leads to improved soil structure, fertility, and water retention. Healthy soils are less prone to erosion and can store more carbon which helps to mitigate climate change. Additionally, the absence of synthetic chemicals reduces the risk of water contamination which protects local waterways and aquatic life. This focus on soil and water quality contributes to a healthier environment and more sustainable farming practices. | |||
