What does bio dynamic mean?
‘Bio’ comes from the Greek word which means life, and ‘dynamic’ means a moving force. Hence bio dynamics is life as a moving force. In tune with the natural rhythms Bio dynamic farming principles and methods are based on the teachings of Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner who in 1924 outlined a method of agriculture that seeks to actively work with the health-giving forces of nature. Bio dynamics is the oldest non-chemical agricultural movement in the West, predating, by 20 years, the organic farming movement. Bio dynamic farmers attempt to understand and work with life processes and they try to build their understanding of the mineral processes used in conventional agriculture. Bio dynamics is a holistic system that considers the farm an organic system. Organic and bio dynamics both consider a healthy soil is the foundation of healthy plants, animals and people.
