"Ecological agriculture is the mainstream, western environmental movement for the renewal of agriculture and nutrition - and includes several schools of thought and practice. Biodynamics was historically, the pioneering initiative of this western environmental movement. It is, however, much more than just an impulse for renewing agriculture and nutrition ecologically, it is a true holistic and complimentary system of medicine for agriculture, for each unique farm, based on an understanding of nature that is both scientific and spiritual." Dr. Andrew C. Lorand

„There are probably few people like Andrew Lorand, who can explain biodynamics with so much competence, so understandably and with so much livliness. He, who decides to go with him on this path, will find it incredible.“
Josef Umathum, "Demeter" certified biodynamic Winemaker, Frauenkirchen, Austria
„This kind of biodynamic schooling – with all ist background and practial information is no doubt unique in it's depth, complexity and quality. It was and remains a revelation for me. Mr. Lorand has comprehensive knowledge of Rudolf Steiner and bioddynamics - impressive and fascinating!"
Thomas Teibert, "Biodivin" biodynamic Winemaker, Calce, France
„The content of this material is complex, but through the simple and human manner, the instruction has been very interesting, simple to understand and very practically tranferable.“
Norbert Glaspichler, "Bioland" Organic Farmer and Winemaker, Velturno, Italy

“Andrew Lorand is unique in combining a deep understanding of the spiritual dimensions of biodynamics while having a rigorous, academic background in other western schools of agriculture, including permaculture and agroecology. While some of our biodynamic friends are content with the spiritual view of Steiner’s approach to agriculture, some of the best also yearn for a deeper more complex and more complete understanding of just how biodynamic agriculture fits into current paradigms of agricultural renewal and Andrew is exceptionally talented in this regard.”
Ted Lemon, Proprietor and Winegrower, Littorai Wines, Sebastopol, California

| Hello and Welcome!
At this site, I want to inform you about professional ecological agriculture and particularly introduce you to biodynamic agriculture, offering you an independent introduction - including links to more websites.
Additionally, I hope to connect you with the folks who are working everyday to make a better world through healthy products and land care - and who are using ecological and spiritual ideas and principles to this end.
Furthermore, I can offer a peek into the way in which I educate and train farmers of all kinds, gardeners and winemakers to understand and make best use of agroecology, biodynamics and related schools of thought and practice.
The site is under construction - so please come back often as we will make every effort to update and complete the site in the near future...
Dr. Andrew Christopher Lorand
