Biodynamic Responses to the Climate Crisis - Agricultural, Social and Planetary Healing

The Adelaide Hills Biodynamic (BD) Group is hosting international guest speaker Ueli Hurter, for this one-off talk/presentation addressing how we can address and work towards solutions to the climate change challenges.

The talk will differ from the field day in that Ueli will focus on "The Three Soils" introduced by Ueli in the video below. He will touch on some of the themes of the field day, held earlier in the day, but will deepen and expand on those themes.

The talk may also include:

- "The Three Soils" see video below for more
- "Theory U" and how this can help in make sense of a changing world
- The effects of separating humans from nature, and strategies to turn this around
- Contrasting conventional, organic, and biodynamic farming method and outcomes
- Healing and regenerative aspects of BD principles and practices
- Enlivenment and enhancement of living systems
- BD working with soil, soul and social forces
- The dynamic interface of BD, permaculture and regenerative agriculture
- Making BD nutrient dense food affordable
