Koberwitz, Whitsun 1924: Rudolf Steiner had just completed his
momentous 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?' Steiner's frank response was somewhat surprising:
'It will not be sufficient even in the most favourable
circumstances. What should be done is to cultivate the Dioscorea
batatas in Europe so that it can take over from the potato as the
staple diet.' In the many decades since that conversation, various
attempts have been made to cultivate Dioscorea batatas - the 'light
root' - in Europe, initially by Steiner's close colleague Guenther
Wachsmuth. More recently, biodynamic farmer Ralf Roessner began to
research the plant and its background, but soon discovered problems
with the specimens available in Europe. Unsatisfied with the
standard of the plants, in 2002 he travelled to the original
growing areas of Dioscorea batatas in China, where he was able to
form a comprehensive picture of the best planting methods and
conditions. 'The nodules which I found and brought back with me',
he writes, 'showed similar light ether characteristics to the
original plants of Wachsmuth's'. Having successfully cultivated and
marketed this light root, Roessner presents some carefully
assembled introductory materials based on his experiences and those
of a colleague. 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' in a unique
manner, making it not only a valuable food, but also a 'carrier of
the spirit'. This light root could even '...decisively influence
the development of humanity and the earth'. Aside from studying
esoteric aspects, he gives answers to frequently-asked practical
questions about the plant and its cultivation.
