Scientific Congress 'Evolving agriculture and food - Perspectives in biodynamic research'

This new biannual conference will gather academics, scholars, PhD students, graduate students, farmer-researchers and action researchers from around the world to discuss the latest and most pressing issues in biodynamic agriculture, moreover discussing related fields such as agroecology and food and nutrition, dedicating significant attention also to new and alternative researching methods. Biodynamic research is done in any agricultural field, in many places of the world using a great diversity of methods and disciplines, getting in touch with many other research areas. Taking an inter- and trans-disciplinary approach, we aim to bring together both academic research and farmer’s expertise to explore and discuss issues in biodynamic food and farming systems. The perspective taken on these issues may be from a classical scientific point of view as well as from an innovative methodical standpoint. We invite contributions to the following topics: New scientific methods in academic and on-farm research  The farm organism and (new) perspectives in agroecology  Beyond matter: Non-material influences on agriculture – quantum physics & co in agriculture  Associative economy – an approach to sustainable food systems  Living soil, soil life, and soil fertility Research on plants  Food for live - food quality, nutrition and health  Animal welfare  others   Meer informatie: http://isofar.org/isofar/index.php/2-uncategorised/220-scientific-conference-on-evolving-agriculture-and-food-perspectives-in-biodynamic-research-taking-place-at-dornach-switzerland-on-sept-5th-8th-2018
