Manfred Klett, born in 1933, is the doyen of the biodynamic movement. Having spent decades travelling the world — alongside his practical work and responsibilities — as a speaker, lecturer and conversation partner, one might now imagine him settled into a tranquil retirement. This picture deceives, for out of that outward stillness Manfred Klett steps once more before the public with a comprehensive work. And anyone who knows him will sense at once what he is placing in our hands: the quintessence of a lifetime's engagement on behalf of an agriculture of the future. Looking back, the fruits of a life are surveyed and ordered — a structured reckoning of what agriculture was and is. Looking forward, there stands before us a summons to the generations that follow, in the sense of directions for work, toward taking hold of what agriculture carries within itself as future potential.
