2021 Biodynamic Agriculture Annual Conference
This year's conference will be held digitally and organized jointly by the Department of Youth and the Department of Biodynamic Agriculture in Ghetto. In this format we want to allow exchanges of perspectives, real encounters and look ahead and bring together participants from all over the globe.
How do we breathe in the climate crisis?
How do we understand the climate crisis from a social-spiritual ecological aspect?
Can the earth bear the 'footprint'?
Climate change is happening now - And we can see their impact in many places. Any person can internally balance the existential uncertainty that has been created, this along with nature and agriculture which have certain resilience forces as well.
But is there no continual erosion of the fabric of inner and outer life?
We want to use the broad sense of the concept of climate to develop an image of a living entity for the entire planet. We will investigate facts and discuss possible solutions.
We will look for an individual purpose in relation to a situation that seems hopeless to humanity.
We would like to confront explosive social assumptions with the help of a shared desire potential to curb the urgency of tasks.
We wish for a breath of life that would allow us to say; The earth is waiting for a 'footprint' - I want to walk in it and contribute to our common future.

The Laboratory of the Future Workshop
We are working in a new format for the first time and look forward to exchanging views and ideas. In the Laboratory of the Future workshop we will work on concrete questions regarding the social, economic, ecological, and spiritual dimension of the climate crisis.
After a discussion with an expert in the field, we will be divided into small groups and plan a vision for the future and practical steps to fulfill it.
Examples of questions that the workshop will deal with:
They are all farmers - what is the role of agriculture?
How to overcome the splits between the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere and create a fruitful collaboration?
How can the role of humanity in the evolution of the earth be understood?
How should we discern an economic retreat?
