In his Agriculture Lectures, Rudolf Steiner repeatedly charged farmers to create a self-contained farm organism that includes the proper mix of pastures and meadows, trees and shrubs, aromatic herbs, flowers, ponds, fungi, and animals. Such a self-contained farm organism includes all of the processes in nature that create topsoil, improve fertility, and increase biodiversity, and includes ecological disturbance to re-set the system. Learn how to design your farm after the natural plant communities of your bioregion in order to obtain yields with almost as little cost as nature.
