Biodynamic

Biodynamic agriculture is a method and philosophy developed by Dr. Rudolph Steiner (founder of the Waldorf educational philosophy) that "relates the ecology of the earth-organism to that of the entire cosmos." While it is an alternative to "organic," it is not exclusive; plants can be grown both organically and biodynamically. Both mystical and practical, biodynamics considers the soil and farm as living organisms and focuses on protecting the life of the soil and the self-sustaining life of the farm. In a biodynamic farm, animals and plants are cultivated together in mutually beneficial ways.

Biodynamics requires a large number of sustainable practices: crop rotation, very specific compost makeup including medicinal herbs, proper working of the soil and the planting of certain beneficial species, among other requirements.
