Biodynamic Research Association Denmark (BRAD)

BRAD is a small research institution with specific experience in the quality of organic and biodynamic plant products. The research focus is on developing and applying the picture developing methods, specifically the biocrystallization method. BRAD is active in the European Triangle-project aimed at validating the biocrystallization method, including lab and crystallization procedures, as well as visual and computerized procedures for evaluating the pictures.

Current research projects:

Validation of the biocrystallization method
Validation of the biocrystallization method
  1. Optimization of the crystallization procedure.
    2007-2009. The project is aimed at optimising the primary crystallization factors influencing the morphological properties of the pictures. Takes place within the context of the Triangle-project, in cooperation with University of Kassel (coordinator) and Louis Bolk Institute. Based on fundings from European foundations.

  2. Development of a biocrystallization method for examining effects of homeopathic metal potencies on germinating seeds.
    2006-2008. The project is aimed at developing a test method applicable for homeopathic research. Takes place within the overall context of the Triangle-project, in cooperation with Louis Bolk Institute, Hiscia Institute and University of Kassel. Based on fundings from European foundations.

  3. Production of organic cheese on the basis of milk from hay-fed herds.
    2007-2009. The project is coordinated by the Danish organic dairy Naturmälk, aimed at producing high-quality cheeses on the basis of raw milk from hay-fed herds. The role of BRAD is to contribute with complementary tools for optimising and monitoring the quality of the milk from the suppliers of the dairy. Based on fundings from a product innovation program under the Danish Food Ministry.
