Biodynamic Association: Promoting Holistic Approach to Organic Agriculture and Gardening
Welcome to the wonderful world of biodynamics, an inspirational international movement that promotes a uniquely holistic approach to organic agriculture and gardening, and food and health. Biodynamic Association is a non-profit organization that aims to promote biodynamic farming practices worldwide. With over 90 years of experience in the field, Biodynamic Association has become a leading authority on biodynamics.
Biodynamics is an agricultural method that goes beyond organic farming by incorporating spiritual, ethical, and ecological principles into its practices. It was first introduced by Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner in 1924 as a response to the increasing use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture. Biodynamics emphasizes the importance of soil health, biodiversity, crop rotation, composting, animal welfare, lunar cycles, and cosmic rhythms in producing high-quality food while preserving the environment.
