Overview
About the event
National Organic Month has deep roots that go back much further than its more formal recognition in recent years. It all started with growing concerns over the industrialization of agriculture and the heavy use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
This sparked a movement among those who yearned for the return of farming practices that were in harmony with nature. As the 20th century progressed, a clear divide emerged between traditional, nature-friendly farming and modern, chemical-reliant methods.
In the early 20th century, pioneers like Rudolf Steiner in Germany and F.H. King in the United States began laying the groundwork for what would eventually become organic farming.
Steiner introduced biodynamic agriculture, focusing on the interconnectivity of soil, plants, and animals, while King, inspired by his observations of traditional farming in Asia, foresaw a movement toward sustainable agriculture�??�??.
