Australian Demeter Bio-Dynamic Farming Method Seminar July 2017

Bio-Dynamic agriculture is an enhanced organic farming method that was introduced by Rudolph Steiner in 1924. It was introduced as a method to counter soil degradation, poor plant and animal health and other farming problems that had occurred since the introduction of artificial fertilizers and farm chemicals.

In Australia, in the early 1950’s, Alex Podolinsky set about making the method a practical system, suitable for all areas of agricultural and horticultural production. In the early 1960’s he founded the Bio-Dynamic Agricultural Association of Australia (BDAAA), which today, by landmass, is the largest natural farming body on earth. The method developed is recognized worldwide as the Australian Demeter Bio-Dynamic method and has been adopted by farmers from many countries.

The speaker, Ng Tien Khuan, graduated as M.Sc in Physics from University Malaya, changing his life to become a farmer 15 years ago, and start an organic Farm 11 years ago. After 2.5 years of ordinary organic, he acquired the knowledge and practices of Bio-Dynamic and now has a 6 acre Demeter certified vegetable farm.

- Plant feeding within nature
Soil cultivation, to improve soil structure
