biodynamic
Biodynamic farming is an agricultural approach that emphasizes the interconnection of soil, plants, and animals. It is based on the principles established by Rudolf Steiner in the early 20th century. This method promotes organic practices, such as composting and crop rotation, while also incorporating specific preparations made from natural materials to enhance soil health and plant growth.
In addition to organic methods, biodynamic farming considers the influence of cosmic rhythms, such as lunar cycles, on agricultural practices. Farmers often use a calendar to guide planting and harvesting times, aiming to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that fosters biodiversity and resilience.
