Biodynamic farming is proof that agriculture without pesticides is possible. Intro-duced a hundred years ago, it is by now even applied to demanding cultures such as fruit, cotton, wine, coffee and bananas.
Human societies are undergoing complex transformation processes: At present, the climate crisis, the search for appropriate forms of coexistence, the status of the individual and digitalisation are all drawing attention to issues of relationship.
Biodynamic agriculture has listened to the climate concerns of the young people and the young people trust that they are being heard. Both will pool their strengths and experiences for the digital conference ‘Breathing With the Climate Crisis’.
The Section for Agriculture at the Goetheanum has set itself the aim for everyone to be able participate in the biodynamic agricultural and food culture and help to develop it. This assumes access to high-quality seed, a sound training and an environment that enables organic agriculture.
The Annual General Meeting of the General Anthroposophical Society was held at the Goetheanum on 31 October in compliance with the currently required protective restrictions. The members confirmed the appointment of Ueli Hurter as a member of the Executive Council, approved the 2019 financial statement and discharged the Executive Council.
Four leadership changes will take place at the Goetheanum by Easter 2020. Ueli Hurter has been appointed as the fifth member of the Executive Council. This appointment still requires the approval of the General Assembly in April. The leadership positions of the Natural Science Section, the Visual Arts Section and the General Anthroposophical Section will also be newly filled.
