What Is Biodynamic Farming?

Biodynamic vs. Organic

Biodynamic = self-sustaining.

Biodynamic agriculture was created in response to a request by farmers (1924) who noticed degraded soil conditions and a deterioration in the health and quality of crops and livestock resulting from the use of chemical fertilizers. (source: Wikipedia)

Now, Organics according to Wikipedia are: those products that are produced using environmentally sound methods that do not involve modern synthetic inputs such as pesticides and chemical fertilizers, do not contain genetically modified organisms, and are not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents, or chemical additives

So this fixes the problem, right?

Well yes, but not as well as Biodynamic farming.

This new type of farming places emphasis on the recycling properties of an ecosystem. This means that the products of the ecosystem (manure, excess crops, etc.) are being returned to the same ecosystem (earth) as sustenance to revitalize the soil for the next season's crop production. These "home-grown" fertilizers are specifically cultivated to ensure they have all the proper nutrients for the soil to bring it back to life.
