Biodynamic agriculture first originated in central Europe but is now practised in farms, vineyards and gardens all over the world. As the biodynamic approach expands its reach, well-established recipes for the eight preparations have been adapted to meet the needs and challenges of different regions around the globe - with their different climates, flora, seasons and regulations. This fascinating book presents the results of a unique study, carried out by the Agriculture Section at the Goetheanum, Switzerland, into how the biodynamic preparations are used in fifteen countries worldwide, including Egypt, Brazil, New Zealand, India and across Europe. The detailed case studies examine the modifications made by each practitioner as well as exploring their background and creative processes. This ground-breaking book is essential reading for current and aspiring biodynamic practitioners around the world.
