Agronomic creativity and rituals in Swiss vineyards. A study of multiple commitments in biodynamic viticulture
Globalities of wine
By Alexandre GrandjeanEnglish
This paper focuses on the multiple commitments of Swiss wine producers based on the guidelines prescribed by biodynamic viticulture. With insights from fieldwork, I explore wine producers' creative adaptations and customizations of the prescriptions of alternative experts. In doing so, they distance themselves pragmatically from the anthroposophical legacy of biodynamic farming.
