Growing Strong Seed the Biodynamic Way

This presentation was recorded live at the Organic Seed Growers Conference on February 16, 2018. Organic and biodynamic production are both rooted in ecological agriculture and a whole systems approach. Biodynamic agriculture incorporates additional practices and principles to enhance the health and vitality of both the farm and seed crops. Biodynamic practices help plants to devel- op in a healthy and balanced way, to access the full spectrum of nutrients they need, and to become more resilient to pests, diseases, and extreme climate conditions. Demand for Deme- ter-certified biodynamic seed is growing among both seed companies and farmers who want the unique quality and vital- ity of these seeds. Learn how to incorporate biodynamics into your farm operations, specific biodynamic practices that can nurture and enhance the seeds that you grow, what is needed to become certified biodynamic, and where market opportunities are emerging. Speakers: Thea Maria Carlson, Biodynamic Farmer and Co-Director of the Biodynamic Association; Nathan Corymb Clark, Meadowlark Hearth; Jim Fullmer, Biodynamic Farmer and Co-Director of Demeter USA; Marjory House, Biodynamic Farmer and Consultant with Sero Biodynamic Seed
