biodynamics

Biodynamics is a sustainable farming approach that focuses on holistic, ecological practices. It integrates organic farming with spiritual and cosmic principles, emphasizing the interconnectedness of soil, plants, animals, and the universe. Developed by Rudolf Steiner in the early 20th century, it involves using organic materials and biodynamic preparations, which are special composts and teas intended to enhance soil fertility and plant growth. Farmers also consider lunar and cosmic cycles for planting and harvesting. The goal is to create a self-sustaining farm ecosystem that promotes biodiversity and health while producing high-quality food.
