A part of sustainable agricultural sector: biodynamic agriculture

Abstract

Biodynamic agriculture is the oldest environmental farming culture. It is the most sustainable farming method that can be applied in all climate zones. The founder of biodynamic agriculture; Rudolf Steiner was a philosopher, scientist, educator, artist and founder of anthroposophical school, who was born in Austria in the second half of the 19th century. As a result of researches and observations about the human spirit; Rudolf Steiner has developed a new perspective in the field of agriculture as in other fields. The impact of nature, humanity and the environment on the continuation of life on the cosmos and distant planets is the basic philosophy of biodynamic agriculture. Thus, the concept of ecological-organic agriculture has begun to be introduced again. For this purpose, "Biodynamic Agriculture" came to life with the information given to farmers under the title of "Agricultural Courses" in 8 different seminars at Koberwitz in 1924. In our country, the first biodynamic agriculture applications started in 1991. Then, it continued with 101 farms. In 2017, 1 handler and 163 farms were registered. In addition; Turkey's first integrated Biodynamic Agriculture farm was established in 2014. Likewise, “Turkey Demeter Biodynamic Agricultural Association” was founded in 2018. Nowadays, continuing education and social projects in Turkey, the development and spread of biodynamic agriculture will continue to increase.
