Biodynamic

Biodynamic farming is a holistic and regenerative farming system that is focused on soil health, the integration of plants and animals, and biodiversity. It seeks to create a farm system that is minimally dependent on imported materials, and instead meets its needs from the living dynamics of the farm itself.

It is the biodiversity of the farm, organized so that the waste of one part of the farm becomes the materials and energy for another, that results in an increase in the farm’s capacity for self-renewal and ultimately makes the farm sustainable.
