Everything lives!
“Like every living thing, a meaningful philosophy also leads its own life, it breathes and grows, changes and evolves. In this sense biodynamic principles are no exception. The goal of biodynamic agriculture is to produce a healthy balance in soils, plants, animals and people and to strengthen their natural defenses.
How does this work? Biodynamics is anthroposophic medicine for agriculture, a holistic view and an attempt to remedy causes – while modern agriculture is based on the state of knowledge, expertise and technology – and on the other hand to try to mimic naturally occurring interrelationships, and complement existing methods to strengthen the natural defenses.“
