"Organic and biodynamic agriculture are key
investments for the re-cultivation of rural areas and
provide farmers and their families with a better future.
For this reason, in the Municipality of Idanha-a-Nova
we have created Green Valley, synonymous with
innovation and entrepreneurialism in the countryside.
It is an integral part of the Recomeçar (Restart)
strategy that aims to create opportunities for work,
for investment and for life in Idanha-a-Nova".
Armindo Jacinto
President of the Idanha-a-Nova Municipal Council

"Changes and Innovation happen mostly mostly
on edges. The potential of the countryside is to change
and to innovate. Idanha is an edge between Spain
and Portugal, between Lisbon, Madrid and Porto,
between dense cities and empty spaces.
Innovation comes from these kind of places today
and seeds and farming play a key role".

Intro
This conference aims to raise our awareness of the
biodynamic and organic life cycle of agriculture,
its complexity and the challenges it faces, but also
the advantages of organics for the world and for
Portugal in particular. The lectures given will allow
us a better understanding of certain concepts and
the workshops will combine advice and practical
issues in a fruitful discussion.
Internationally well known experts from Portugal,
Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Brazil, Mexico,
the Netherlands and France have accepted the
invitation to participate in the conference. Between
many other contributions, there will be Ana-Luisa
Janeira from University Lisbon and Alfredo Sedim
from Herdade Freixo do Meio engaging in a dialogue
about Agriculture and Spirituality. Jean-Michel
Florin, co-leader of the section for Agriculture,
Goetheanum, Switzerland will speak about the
farm as an organism and the guiding motives for
sustainable agriculture and Dr. Johannes Wirz from
the Natural Science Section of the Goetheanum
will demonstrate in a workshop why bees are so
important. Ruud Hendriks, soil science teacher
and head of the Warmonderhof biodynamic
agriculture school in the Netherlands is going to
explain the fertility of soil and Gustavo Esteva,
from Mexico, writer of more than 40 books
and grass-roots activist will give us insights to
indigenous people and how they live with nature.
In order to implement organic and biodynamic
agriculture more widely in Portugal, a networking and
circular economy and collaboration between various
local participants and national and international
initiatives will be key. The Idanha conference wants
to contribute to fostering personal exchange and
connections for a sustainable agriculture.

Lectures & Workshops
A variety of key topics for sustainable agriculture
are to be presented, discussed and delved into
over 6 workshops. The workshop leaders will give
a short presentation at the beginning of each
thematic workshop in order to raise the scope.
The lectures on key topics will be held in the
plenary. The workshops will be placed at three
different locations around the conference centre
and it will be possible for the participants to
choose from among 3 specific thematic groups
on each conference day. At the end of each
conference day participants are invited to join the
World Café set-up to get together in small groups
to exchange and network.
World Café
The World Café is a group interaction method
focused on conversations. A Café Conversation is a
creative process for leading collaborative dialogue,
sharing knowledge and creating possibilities for
action in groups of all sizes. The environment is
set up like a café, with paper-covered tables for up
to six people supplied with refreshments. People
sit to a table and hold a series of conversational
rounds lasting from 20 to 45 minutes about one or
more questions, which are personally meaningful to
them. At the end of each round, one person remains
at each table as the host, while the others travels
to separate tables. Table hosts welcome newcomers
to their tables and share the essence of that table's
conversation so far. The newcomers relate any
conversational threads they are carrying and then
the conversation continues, deepening as the round
progresses.

6. Why organic
and biodynamic
seeds matter
13/33
Organic Agriculture starts with
organic seeds, seeds being part of
nature and wisdom of life, adapted
seeds are the base of local agriculture,
local adapted organic seeds create
a higher yield, suspension of the
derogation for the use of conventional
seeds for organic farming of the
EU in 2025 at the latest.

Fernando Paiva
An artisan who turned to winemaking after
being a teacher. He is an integral part of the
ecosystem along with the land, the plants
and the animals that compose the entity that
is his vineyard. Fernando Paiva pioneered
biodynamic principles in Portugal to create
grapes of outstanding quality. Located in
Sousa, Vinho Verde, at Quinta da Bouça-Chã
it is mandatory to respect the soil and to
stimulate the equilibrium and connection of
the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms.
This balance naturally imprints on the wines
themselves which are produced from Loureiro
for white and Vinhão for red. Very typical
grape types for the region, produced in pure
conditions they are empowered to create vivid
sensual experiences that are worth having.

Stephan Kampelmann
Theo Boon
Worked for more than 20 years as an
entrepreneur in the telecom sector and 8 years
in the renewable energy sector. Drawing on
these experiences Stefan concluded he needed
to support more important and fundamental
issues. He felt very simply that life starts with
and depends on seeds and that seeds are more
and more missing in the world of technology,
but that seeds influenced by a positive spirit
of humans become cultural seeds. In close
cooperation with Demeter International and
as a member of the German biodynamic
breeding association Kultursaat e.V. he
took the challenge to set up an initiative of
breeding and seed propagation for Southern
Europe starting in Portugal. Together with the
founding team LIVING SEEDS SEMENTES
VIVAS SA was set up in June 2015, for Stefan
the best phase of his life

Cultural Event
Yemadas
Grupo de nómadas de espírito
livre e positivo, que influencia
profundamente os lugares por
onde passa. Trata-se de um projeto
multidisciplinar e interativo, que
desperta o gosto pela arte.
O projeto Yemadas nasceu na Índia
em 2011, quando Ana e Tiago viviam
na Sadhana Forest, em Auroville
(www.auroville.org). Os dois foram
convidados a participar no Lively
Up Your Earth Festival, onde tiveram
enorme êxito no palco, já que a sua
foi a única banda que realmente levou
o público a dançar. Desde então, os
Yemadas compreenderam que a sua
missão é tocar para os outros.
Os seus concertos não são mero
entretenimento. Para os Yemadas,
são rituais, cerimónias celebratórias,
um coro de vozes em união e uma
profunda mensagem por um mundo
novo em harmonia com a natureza e
com as nossas almas.
A banda tem crescido, evoluído, e
está sempre desejosa de convidar
outros músicos para tocar ou
outros dançarinos para dançar.
Em 2012, começaram por viver na
quinta Windarra, em Auroville. Aí,
estabeleceram ligações com outros
músicos, não só ao nível musical,
como também numa jornada
profundamente espiritual. Uma nova
visão nasceu, e a banda decidiu juntar
diferentes aspetos da sua vida aos
seus espetáculos, começando a incluir
teatro e danças poderosas. Em 2013,
os Yemadas decidiram concretizar
o sonho de ter a sua própria quinta
biológica. Agora, a quinta Yemadas é
o novo projeto da banda. Todos os sete
elementos vivem juntos em Aljezur,
no sul de Portugal, onde trabalham
a terra e partilham as vidas, com
mais tempo para tocar música,
fazer as suas Viagens Sonoras e os
ensaios para os espetáculos. Em breve
será possível comprar o novo CD
do Yemadas, com 2 kg de vegetais
biológicos frescos incluídos no pacote.
Os Yemadas estão prontos para tocar
por um mundo melhor!

Location
A jewel in the heart of the countryside
Halfway between Lisbon and Madrid, the two most
important urban centres on the Iberian Peninsula,
the municipality of Idanha-a-Nova could not enjoy
a better location.
Situated in the middle of the countryside,
Idanha-a-Nova is an area privileged with natural,
cultural and patrimonial riches unique in Portugal
and the world, proudly preserved by the people who

It is a safe, accessible and dynamic municipality,
which throughout the year hosts countless events
of a cultural, recreational and sporting nature. It is
now distinguished by three classifications granted
by UNESCO: Idanha-a-Nova is a Creative City of
Music, it includes UNESCO's Geopark Naturtejo
and forms part of Tejo Internacional – UNESCO
Biosphere Reserve. Combining tradition with
modernity is Idanha-a-Nova's motto. For this reason,
it now boasts pioneering agriculture, creative and
innovative industries, and a diverse, high quality
tourist provision, with 41 touristic enterprises: hotels,
guesthouses, rural tourism, manor/country house
accommodation and an excellent campsite.
The historic wealth of the area is one of Idanhaa-Nova's trump cards. In this region, the villages of
Monsanto (known as the most Portuguese village),
Idanha-a-Velha (site of the confluence of many
civilisations) and Penha Garcia (which has fossils
more than 480 million years old) receive thousands
of visitors each year, from tourists to researchers or
artists. But these lands win over the stomach as well.
In the restaurants, you can discover a stimulating
cookbook of flavours and aromas. In fact, the
municipality of Idanha-a-Nova was recently voted
the "tastiest in Portugal", in a gastronomic contest
with the other regions of the country.

The venue
Located on Avenida Joaquim Morão Lopes
Dias, the Raiano Cultural Centre is a technical
and functional point of reference in the field,
developing and coordinating the basic activities
of research, preservation and communication
relating to cultural heritage, and taking on a
predominant role in the cultural programming of
the municipality of Idanha-a-Nova.
A project created by architect Luís Marçal Grilo,
the Raiano Cultural Centre boasts an area of around
2,800m2. It consists of various exhibition halls,
an auditorium with space for around 260 people,
multipurpose areas and workspaces, arranged
around a large internal garden. Completing this
complex on the outside is the amphitheatre, with
capacity for around 1,000.
Over 19 years of activity, it has presented a
diverse range of productions in the area of the
performing arts as well as the museological side,
and is responsible for much of the recognition that
Idanha-a-Nova has achieved in Portugal and abroad
for its cultural dynamism and programming.
