Nature’s power of renewal
Despite the restrictions imposed by the Coronavirus measures, the Section for Agriculture is as busy as ever and develops new forms of communication.
The outer isolation with the closure of the Goetheanum to the public asks us to nurture the health-giving sources of soul and spirit and to be consciously aware of nature’s power of renewal. Because of the prevailing restrictions we are working mostly from home at the moment; some of us also work reduced hours.
Fortunately most of the Section for Agriculture’s events are in the winter, which means that we are now preparing for 2021. This includes the Agriculture Conference ‘Breathing With the Climate Crisis: Ecologically – Socially – Spiritually’ in February 2021 and the Organic World Congress in September 2021. In addition, we review events and write articles, for instance for our Section Newsletter, or books such as that by Jasmin Peschke on nutrition. Other activities that continue as before include the preparing of conference presentations, the completing of project documentations, videos and publications and our accompanying of running projects such as Living Farms.
What is new is that we are developing new formats such as webinars for basic and further training as well as the communication of conference contents worldwide. We also use the time to move forward as a Section. Since our team has grown we need new processes and procedures which we develop together so that we can emerge stronger from this challenging situation.
You will find up-to-date information on our work on our website and platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube or in our Newsletter.
