Biodynamic farming is an agricultural approach that emphasizes the interconnection of soil, plants, and animals. It was developed in the early 20th century by Rudolf Steiner, who believed that farms should be treated as self-sustaining ecosystems. This method incorporates organic practices, such as composting and crop rotation, while also using specific preparations made from natural materials to enhance soil health and plant growth. In addition to organic farming techniques, biodynamic practices often include planting according to lunar cycles and astrological influences. Farmers may also use cover crops and maintain biodiversity to promote a balanced environment. Overall, biodynamic farming aims to create a holistic and sustainable agricultural system.
