Biodynamic Farming was the first form of ecological farming system, first appearing in 1924. It has been proved to be one of the most sustainable forms of farming with the highest levels of soil biodiversity found on farms.

This course is designed for the gardener, grower, or farmer who wants to learn more about the principles and practices of biodynamic systems in a simple and practical way. It is approved by the Biodynamic Board of Studies. You will cover;

• the context of biodynamic systems and the Demeter regulations.

• the practices of biodynamic systems.

• the use of the preparations, and the calendar in both a practical and theoretical manner

• how the preparations are made by working local biodynamic practitioners who will give an insight into the preparations and their uses.

The course will be held on a registered biodynamic farm and will enable you to carry out some biodynamic systems on your own land.
