Presenter:

Walter Goldstein became acquainted with biodynamic agriculture in 1972. He has applied biodynamic agricultural practices on his own farm, has done research on them, and has thought a lot about what a biodynamic/Goethean approach can contribute to the art and science of breeding.

Dr. Goldstein has a MSc and PhD in agronomy from Washington State University. He has extensive experience researching management, cover crops, soil health, root health, and N. He worked 25 years at Michael Fields Agricultural Institute in East Troy, Wisconsin, and started the Mandaamin Institute, Inc., a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization in 2011 and Nokomis Gold Seed Company in 2012. His history includes cooperative, on-farm research in teams involving many states and organizations and extensive work in Eastern Europe.
