The Agriculture Course

This work comprises the original eight lectures given by Rudolph Steiner as a response to artificial farming. Anyone interested in the roots of natural farming in the modern world deserves to read this book. So profound, the infomration can take on an entirely different meaning relative to the readers experience. Simply a must for anyone investigating biodynamic agriculture!

Quotes: "A farm is true to its essential nature, in the best sense of the word, if it is conceived as a kind of individual entity in itself- a self-contained individuality. Every farm should approximate to this condition. This ideal cannot be absolutely attained, but it should be observed as far as possible. Whatever you need for agriculture production, you should try to posses it within the farm itself. Properly speaking, any manures or the like which you bring into the farm from outside should be regarded rather as a remedy for a sick farm. That is the ideal. A thoroughly healthy farm should be able to produce within itself all that it needs." (29)
