What you should know about Bio-Dynamic Farming & Gardening Association
In the early 1920s, a number of European farmers were deeply worried about signs of agriculture in decline. In New Zealand, biodynamic methods were first used in 1928 at Havelock North and the Bio Dynamic Farming and Gardening Association was born in 1939. Bay of Plenty Jennifer Scott Ph Gisella Warmenhoven Ph . The Bio Dynamic Farming and Gardening Association in New Zealand Inc was formed in 1939 to promote biodynamic methods. Our objectives are to foster, guide and safeguard in New Zealand the biodynamic approach to agriculture, horticulture, forestry and animal husbandry initiated by Rudolf Steiner in 1924 and practised progressively since.
We currently have about 800 members who include farmers, viticulturalists, processors, orchardists, and commercial and home gardeners, as well as others who wish to support this work. Over the years, we’ve made submissions to government on subjects as diverse as genetic engineering, dung beetles, supply of raw milk and The Food Bill. Using biodynamic sprays to stimulate biological activity in the soil and improve retention of nutrients, such as animal wastes. Biodynamics is a systems approach, where the farm, vineyard, orchard or garden is viewed as a living whole and each activity affects everything else.
The Bio Dynamic Farming and Gardening Association is an incorporated society and registered charity governed by an elected Council. Management and consulting services are provided to vineyards especially those using biodynamic and organic management systems. After many years growing organically it seemed a natural progression for me to move into biodynamics. I have loved the opportunity to educate about the vines, vegetable and orchard growing, animal husbandry and the use of biodynamics from making preparations through to application.
All these experiences seem to have served me well as preparation for my varied roles at the Biodynamic Association. Biodynamics complements science beautifully, for it makes us look at gardening and farming in a different way. But what about the whole system how the soil, plants, animals and people all fit together to make a healthy whole? Biodynamics makes us look at a bigger picture, and apply the science in a different way and so develop new insights. In 2006 I studied The Certificate in Applied Organics Biodynamics at Taruna. Joanne looks after the day to day berry growing while I work full time as a manager for the local electricity lines company in Palmerston North.
