Do you want to know more about my working approach?
My advisory concept: The basic attitude is to enable the client to get enough knowledge on Biodynamics so that he/she can, on its own, conduct its agricultural practise in a way that matches the concepts defined by Rudolf Steiner in its Agriculture Course. (O objectivo principal é possibilitar o cliente a adquirir conhecimentos e experiência suficiente em Biodinâmica para que possa, por si só, praticar uma agricultura que esteja de acordo com os princípios definidos por Rudolf Steiner no seu "Curdo aos Agricultores").
