Travel to the Biodynamic Agriculture Australia AGM and Conference
Abstract
Biodynamic Agriculture Australia (BAA) is a national company that provides positive biodynamic (bd) options for anyone committed to being responsible for the shared agricultural environment. Its members seek to protect and encourage the bd method of agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry, forestry and gardening as indicated by the teachings of Rudolph Steiner. To achieve this, the organisation provides bd products, literature and training to its members and provides advice to those seeking certification. The BAA also plays an integral role in assisting the National Australian Sustainable Association in training its assessor to certify bd producers. As at the end of 2010 the total membership base at BAA stands at 1222. Approximately 40 members attended the annual general meeting. The weekend conference attendance stood at 150 with most areas of agriculture represented from across the nation. Wine industry attendance was poor as in many regions harvest was still underway.
