BIODYNAMIC AGRICULTURE

Biodynamic agriculture is an organic farming method drawn up by Rudolf Steiner in the 1920s. Biodynamic farming looks upon the earth - with its minerals, plants and animals - as a single great living organism and avails itself of an in-depth knowledge of the laws governing these natural kingdoms to apply a method that respects and fosters the life of the earth-organism.

Biodynamic farming does not simply exclude the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides but actively promotes the need to increase soil vitality and fertility, and consequently the quality of produce, through specific fertilization and farming techniques.

Essentially, biodynamics is an ecological farming approach based on the preservation and intensification of soil life in all its animal and plant components, however microscopic, and is represented by a holistic view of the farm, by a constant focus on the bonds and affinities (not necessarily strictly material ones) linking the farmer and his farm to the local environment, in the richest and most extensive sense of the word.
