biodynamic principles

Biodynamic principles are a holistic approach to farming developed by Rudolf Steiner in the early 20th century. It views the farm as a self-sustaining ecosystem, integrating crops, animals, and soil health. Biodynamic practices include using organic farming methods, planting according to lunar cycles, and employing specific preparations made from herbs and minerals to enhance soil fertility and plant growth. The goal is to create a balanced system that promotes biodiversity and respects the rhythms of nature. This method often seeks to produce food that is not only healthy but also nourishes the environment and community.
