In 1924, Rudolf Steiner had just completed his lecture course on biodynamic agriculture and was waiting for a car to take him to the station. Suddenly he was approached by two of his pupils with an urgent question: Would his new indications for treating soil and vegetables be sufficient to provide "nutrition appropriate to our times and in accordance with the spirit?"

This small book, illustrated with colour images, is intended for people who wish to discover more about the plant's being and spiritual mission as a "helper of progress." Roessner explains how the light root stores "light ether" i
