Introduction to Biodynamic Agriculture Conference | Alex Podolinsky

The transcribed conferences presented here date back for some over 40 years. They demonstrate how Alex Podolinsky, by deepening the paths laid out by Rudolf Steiner, Lily Kolisko, and Ehrenfried Pfeiffer, was a pioneer in Australia and a precursor for biodynamics worldwide. One can discover how, starting from the reality of the field, he was able to translate into actions and agricultural practices the possibility of implementing a fertile biodynamic agriculture, whether on small plots or very large estates. His sensitivity, as well as his original and innovative understanding of soil, plants, and humus, allow us to grasp the living world and work with it respectfully, while dramatically enhancing soil fertility and the quality of production. Here are some of the many topics covered in these conferences: - Soil transformation through green manure and the 500 preparation after work with ripping tines. - Humus formation and plant nutrition in colloidal humus. - Plant metabolism: transpiration and photosynthesis. - Farm conversion. - Permanent pasture, grazing, and the effects of nitrates on livestock. - The use of preparations 500 and 501. - Water quality, vortex, dynamization. - Morphochromatography and other sensitive testing methods for quality.
