Bio-Dynamic Farming Practice

Sustainable Agriculture
by Friedrich Sattler & Eckard von Wistinghausen

At a time when conventional farms are largely run on business or industrial lines, the idea of a farm as a self-sustaining living organism is a clear departure and one which is becoming increasingly important where the quality of food is concerned.  This book shows how, by combining the best traditional farming methods with up-to-date management skills and appropriate crop and animal husbandry, farmers can begin to put this idea into practice and create a system which is both productive and ecological.

Bio-Dynamic farming, originating from the agricultural teachings of Rudolf Steiner, has been practised successfully for over seventy-five years and is thus probably the oldest environmentally conscious farming method in existence. Originally established in Germany, and also followed extensively elsewhere in Europe, the method has won ever-increasing numbers of adherents throughout the world.
At a time when conventional farms are largely run on business or industrial lines, the idea of a farm as a self-sustaining living organism is a welcome departure which is becoming increasingly recognised as important for high quality agricultural produce.
This book shows how, by combining the best traditional farming methods with up-to-date management skills, appropriate crop and animal husbandry and technology, farmers can begin to put this idea into practice and create a modern system which is both productive and ecological.

The text is firmly based on detailed practical experience and is richly supplemented with 85 clear diagrams, 82 tables and 36 colour plates.
