Meet the Team

Kai Lange leads the College’s work-based training, as well as being a farmer, grower and teacher. He’s worked in biodynamic education since 1985, first on farms in Germany, then Denmark and now the UK. He aims to inspire people’s love for land work and believes that biodynamic practice is the most holistic of all agroecological movements. 

Keziah Suskin is one of our Trustees. She’s also the livestock manager on a mixed biodynamic farm in Wiltshire, running a dairy and raising pigs and sheep. The milk, meat and wool produced is sold at the farm shop and via a box scheme, along with fruit and vegetables from the farm. There are educational programmes for schools, adults with learning difficulties and the general public on site. Plus research on bird, insect, bat and plant diversity is being carried out. She feels her role is the most tangible way she can have a positive impact, giving back more than she takes.

Mark Moodie manages our work-based learning programme and handles IT. He was fascinated but at the same time deeply sceptical when he first heard about biodynamic agriculture – and it’s prompted him to investigate more.. alot more. He’s recorded the questions asked and research carried out from over 30 years of work at www.considera.org

As well as being one of our Trustees, Jenni Rosenbrock is an educational consultant with a background in teaching organic horticulture to children and young people with special educational needs.  She enjoys gardening at home in an urban environment, and volunteering at the biodynamic Moss Valley Market Garden in Sheffield.

 
Nir Halfon is passionate about education and training people in biodynamic and regenerative farming and gardening – perfect for one of our Trustee roles. He has been involved with the Biodynamic Agricultural College since 2009 as a teacher, administrator and since 2016 as a trustee. Until recently he was a grower at Plawhatch Farm and currently works at Plumpton College as a program manager.

Mark Aldington is a Trustee of the College and also a homeopath based near Stroud. He has a special interest in combining biodynamic and homeopathic methods to develop and use remedies for soil, plants and animals for health improvements and remediation. Until recently, Mark has been a partner in an award-winning (2001) organic farm in Wales, which was fully certified organic in 1993.

Alysoun Bolger teaches some of our courses and has been involved in biodynamic education and training for 20 years. She has also been a certification officer for BDA Organic and Demeter Certification in the UK and is currently on the Executive Board of the Biodynamic Federation Demeter International.
