Sorry, I think I missed something here. I think the "death" was to do with the use of the name, not the concept. It referred to intellectual property pirates who mistakenly think they have Trade Marked the name Biodynamic, which shows a distinct lack of understanding, both of history and Common Law. One can not lay claim to something which is not theirs and expect to defend it in Law. Their claim is a nonsense.
The concept and actuality of Biodynamics is as valid as ever and I feel is on the point of becoming more relevant. If it does, it will be by the efforts of those game to innovate. To be more relevant, it needs only to be more widely used. This is an area where the large scale commercial manufacture of Preps can save the half convinced the risk of being caught out by sceptical friends and family, doing something that in some communities, be regarded as close to witchcraft. They can quietly buy their needs and then the actual application does not look all that strange from the adjoining property. It is also the sort of situation where Field broadcasters come into their own. We can market BD grown products without labelling, on quality alone. If the product is good enough, it will sell without BD labelling. Local marketing as "Tom's Triffic Tomatoes" or what ever, should be enough. Using the teachings of RS, we can work to evolve new Preps suited to our special needs. Example: traditional BD Preps are not suited to Australian Native vegetation, but we have many areas of degenerated land that needs the regenerating forces of a BD like energy. This is but one area calling out for development work. How about Preps for Aquaculture and cleaning up water ways or Preps to reverse the effects of Acid Rain? There is, in Organic/ BD circles, some reluctance to progress. I do not understand this, as RS bid us do just that. We should strive to develop new Preps and and review methods of delivery..... Gil
