or, the BDCGA
look, here we are, associating!
high! i'm no expert, just a very interested gardener and farmer who wants to be part of the project, "part of the team" to explore and develop the relevance of biodynamic ideas and techniques to cannabis-growing.
from a biodynamic perspective, i would add here: also our team would be working on the question, "how can cannabis-growing best fit into the farm-organism?"
bd has been proven to be great for wine-grape-growing and winemaking. also vice-versa, the success of bd wines has been super for the biodynamic movement.
in terms of outcomes, biodynamics does very well at yielding a high, high quality product. we could conjecture that bd's produce excels qualitatively because of its particular concern with giving plants and animals access to subtle energies/foods/experiences
------
the movement called biodynamics was initiated around 1924 when Rudolf Steiner, (a polymath and spiritual teacher formerly aligned with Mme Blavatsky; he was also the originator of waldorf childrens' education) gave a series of lectures in response to concerns raised by students of his who were involved in ag, about the bad effects they could already see from industrial chemical-based farming. steiner wasn't a farmer, he drew on his wide general knowledge, his memories of growing up in a world of preindustrial peasant agriculture , and his spiritual visioning, to present in these lectures the beginnings of a new/old way for man to serve and live on the earth. since then many others have researched and experimented to get bd to where it is today, still developing and also with a lot to offer anyone interested in natural farming or holistic living
you can see translations of Steiner's lectures online at the rudolf steiner archive- google "Steiner archive agriculture course"
bd, to me, is not *primarily* a bunch of techniques (though there are those), but a gestalt, a worldview.
if there's a biodynamic group in your area, attending one of their meetings or field-days would be a great way to get an "all-centers" experience of biodynamics
theres a very good film from n.z. profiling a biodynamic farmer working in india, called "how to save the world"
there's also info about bd at these sites
