Agriculture of Tomorrow

Agriculture of Tomorrow

Agriculture of Tomorrow by Eugen Kolisko and Lili Kolisko is a seminal work in the development of biodynamic agriculture, building upon the agricultural indications given by Rudolf Steiner in 1924.

The Koliskos—scientific researchers deeply engaged in spiritual science—undertook extensive experimental work to explore the living qualities of soil, plant growth, compost preparations, and the influence of cosmic rhythms on agriculture. Their investigations include capillary dynamolysis (sensitive crystallization methods), compost studies, and practical biodynamic field research.

This book presents both the scientific observations and the spiritual-scientific framework underlying biodynamic farming. It bridges laboratory research and agricultural practice, offering insight into the formative forces that sustain soil fertility and plant health.

A classic for farmers, gardeners, and students of biodynamics seeking a deeper understanding of the living earth.

Key Themes

• Soil vitality and living processes

• Biodynamic preparations and compost research

• Cosmic influences in agriculture

• Capillary dynamolysis (sensitive crystallization)

• Agriculture as a spiritual-scientific practice

About the Author

Eugen Kolisko (1893–1939) was a physician and scientific researcher associated with the early Anthroposophical movement. He worked closely with Rudolf Steiner and pioneered experimental approaches to biodynamic agriculture and medical research.

Lili Kolisko (1889–1976) continued and expanded this work after Eugen’s death, becoming a leading figure in biodynamic research. Her work on sensitive crystallization methods and planetary influences in plant growth remains influential in biodynamic circles worldwide.
