Living Farms: Biodynamic perspectives worldwideAuthor: Section for Agriculture
The Section for Agriculture at the Goetheanum in Switzerland invites the worldwide biodynamic movement to join the discussion. This is the opportunity to put forward ideas, strategies, principles and approaches in current biodynamic practice, research, training and processing. The debate focuses in particular on how to work with the current challenges of our times. Have you always wanted to find out what actually underlies biodynamic agriculture, how the research on this is carried out, how it has developed and who is currently leading the movement? Or are you interested in how biodynamic ideas such as the agricultural organism, land-based animal husbandry and the training of perception are currently put into practice in different parts of the world? Then you have come to the right place. The podcast is intended for all those who are curious to learn more about biodynamic agriculture and its approaches to solving our present-day problems.

#31 Syntropic Agriculture
Episode 31
Friday, 17 April, 2026
In this episode, we explore syntropic agriculture with Natalia Muguet from Brazil, an agronomist and regenerative herbalist working at the intersection of ecology and tropical agroforestry. She shares her journey from conventional, productivity-driven farming toward a regenerative approach rooted in observation, cooperation, and respect for natural systems.Natalia Muguet and Eduardo Rincón discuss the core principles of syntropic agriculture, including diverse, multi-layered planting systems that mimic forests and accelerate natural succession. Practices like pruning, biomass management, and plant diversity are reframed as tools to improve soil fertility, enhance energy flow, and build resilient ecosystems.A key focus is the role of medicinal plants, which support not only human health but also soil regeneration and biodiversity. Beyond techniques, the conversation highlights a broader philosophy based on cooperation, abundance, and a deep connection to the land. This episode invites reflection on how agriculture can shift from extraction to regeneration—and how “systems of abundance” can be created in harmony with nature.
