Biodynamic Agriculture is a holistic farming approach that emphasizes the interconnection between soil, plants, animals, and humans. It was developed in the early 20th century by Rudolf Steiner, who believed that farms should be 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 fertility and plant health.
In addition to organic techniques, biodynamic farms often follow a lunar calendar to determine the best times for planting and harvesting. This practice aims to align agricultural activities with cosmic rhythms, promoting a more harmonious relationship between the farm and its environment.
