Ueli Hurter public presentation 2 – Economic models, challenges and opportunities of building regenerative BD food secure communities

Bio-Dynamics Tasmania has organised a series of events to celebrate the 100 years anniversary of Rudolf Steiner’s agriculture lectures, which in time became known as the birth of bio-dynamic agriculture. These events are part of a suite of events across Australia and New Zealand designed to celebrate the BD centenary.

The celebrations in Tasmania aim to develop authentic dialogue between “healing” and “regeneration” across land, people and community, such that new harmonies may emerge and guide further BD developments into the future.

A native of Switzerland, he completed agricultural appreticeships in Switzerland, Germany and France. He has formerly served as President of the Swiss Demeter association and as Swiss spokesman to Demeter International.
