The 2nd International Conference on Biodynamic Research will take place digitally from 30 August to 2 September 2021 and is organized by the Agriculture Department of the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland.

The theme of the conference is “Growing beyond resilience”. Academic research but also the results of experiments and research by agricultural producers in biodynamic and organic farming systems offer new ways to understand how we can create an alternative culture that works to address challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, soil infertility and human health.

Following an interdisciplinary approach, the aim is to bring together academic research and experiment results on biodynamic farms to explore and discuss resilience in biodynamic food and agriculture systems and how science can leverage the data for further research.

The conference is an invitation to think and critically view the concept of resilience – does it help or hinder? What is the force actively shaping the different approach and culture needed for farm health and societal well-being?
