Description and Table of Contents
Description
Ways of working towards sustainable agriculture for our world have never been more important. This reissued edition of a classic biodynamic work from 1947 is as relevant now as when first published.
The book covers all aspects of biodynamic agriculture, including ideas on forestry and market gardening, and includes chapters on evidence of scientific findings of the effect of biodynamic growing, and the effects of biodynamics on health.
The book has been faithfully reproduced as originally published, but footnotes have been added to describe modern versions of methods referenced in the text.
