Biodynamics is, historically, the first organized movement of organic Agriculture. The body of knowledge that is the basis of biodynamic agriculture, which extends beyond practical and scientific experience, derives from the “Agriculture Course” given by Rudolf Steiner in 1924 and the spiritual context of Anthroposophy within which this course was given.

​

Rudolf Steiner developed the concept that each farm, must be organized as a self-sufficient organism, an autonomous agricultural individuality. It must have everything it needs for its own maintenance. The soil, soil life, the plant and animal kingdoms depend closely on each other.
A diversified crop rotation, balanced organic fertilizers, appropriate livestock farming, with food coming from the farm itself and the inclusion of the surrounding landscape in the farm's ecological balance provide a basis for intensifying natural cycles and increasing the biological activity of plants and animals.

​

The products that agriculture produces have to “speak” to human beings in order to truly nourish them. Cattle, with the resulting manure production, have always been and still are the basis for agricultural production. Livestock farming requires pasture, cattle in particular, which is an important factor to consider when establishing crop rotations. Plant production must be determined by the needs of people and animals and requires a conscientious approach to caring for the soil.
The main objective is to practice agriculture in such a way that structuring the farm into an integrated unit results in productivity and health and that everything necessary for production comes from the farm itself.

​

Work in Biodynamics requires a strong connection with the essential nature of the Biodynamic method, its principles and ends. To do this, it is necessary to experience natural processes using observation, thought and perception. Finally, it is important that each farmer grows to act responsibly based on his or her own knowledge.
Each individual must thank the great Biodynamic activity for their existence and success and each local act, even if not visible, enhances the general community.
