Biodynamic agriculture and organic agriculture share fundamental principles in their approach to farming. Both methods recognize the need to integrate the diverse uses of rural land. They treat soil fertility as the total of its physical, chemical and biological parts while also considering the environmental and social balance of their activities.
Biodynamic agriculture encompasses organic agriculture, but it goes beyond organic. With its origins rooted in Anthroposophy, a philosophy based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, a Biodynamic farm must be a holistic entity in its development and growth and strive towards the ideal of selfsufficiency in producing its own fertility. Using nature’s own biological rhythms, a farmer must fully understand the specific bioregion’s soil, climate, flora and fauna and regional geology.
