    Event description

    with economic and monetary historian, Christopher Houghton Budd, PhD.

    Course Information 

    This seminar addresses a critical issue in agriculture: how to protect farmers from the pressures of modern finance and ensure their autonomy. Whether it's young people looking to enter farming without family connections or those facing succession challenges, the course explores solutions for acquiring land and capital in ways that honour the true economics of farming, not the volatile nature of financial markets.

    Participants will delve into topics such as land tenure, farm capitalisation, and balancing farm finances. The seminar will focus on Rudolf Steiner's concept of 'associative economics,' offering practical approaches to support sustainable farming. Led by experts in agricultural economics, the course will examine global examples from Latin America and the US, with an emphasis on how these issues relate to the Australian farming landscape.

    Ideal for farmers, policymakers, and those looking to support sustainable agriculture, this seminar offers valuable insights into how to maintain farm viability without succumbing to financial pressures.
