In this podcast we talk with Jean-Michel Florin about the similarities and differences of indigenous knowledge, traditional agriculture and biodynamics. Throughout the last years, indigenous ways of farming become more and more acknowledged. But is biodynamics an indigenous way of farming? Or can biodynamics benefit from traditional farming systems?

What would be potentials for future collaboration and what are the combining factors between the movements.

Get to know the perspective and examples of Jean-Michel Florin, co-leader of the Section for Agriculture about this topic.
