  1. BIODYNAMIC FARMING IS FOR THE MOST PART WHAT I THINK OF ORGANIC FARMING STARTED TO BE LIKE AND WHAT I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE. MORE THEN JUST NO USE OF CHEMICALS -- BUT, ALSO FEEDING THE SOIL SO THE SOIL CAN FEED THE PLANT AND ANIMALS SO TO FEED US WELL.


  2. Organic farming is : Organic farming is a form of agriculture which avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, plant growth regulators, and livestock feed additives. As far as possible, organic farmers rely on crop rotation, crop residues, animal manures and mechanical cultivation to maintain soil productivity and tilth to supply plant nutrients, and to control weeds, insects and other pests

    Biodynamic farming:Biodynamic agriculture, or biodynamics is an organic farming system (but predates the term). It is based on the anthroposophical teachings of Rudolf Steiner. A biodynamic farm works exactly the same as an organic farm in using no pesticides, herbicides etc; but there are various agricultural methods which are unique to biodynamic farming. These include field and compost preparations and a usage of astrological calendar to determine times of planting and harvesting. Biodynamic produce is certified by Demeter, but can be certified by an organic certifying body as well. A central aspect of biodynamics is that the farm as a whole is seen as an organism, and therefore should be a closed self-nourishing system.
