Webinar: The Camphill Biodynamic Market Garden: lessons for community, ecology and the climate crisis

Social inclusion and biodynamic agriculture have been at the heart of the world-wide Camphill movement for almost 9 decades now. Camphill has inspired many new forms of agriculture in the world, especially the CSA movement, Land Trust Co-operative Farming, and Social Farming. In their discussion Annette and Allan will explore how their Market Gardening at Camphill Community Ontario grows not only ecology and community, but regrows our ability to reconnect with the fundamental life systems of our planet, perhaps establishing a way out of our current existential climate crisis.
