About biodynamic food
Predating the term “organic agriculture”, biodynamic agriculture was pioneered by the Austrian Rudolph Steiner in the 1920s. Steiner realised that synthetic fertilisers and other chemicals were harming food production.
He also believed that there was a whole other realm not being utilised in farming – that of the cosmos – and this would be key to enlivening our food, our lives, and our planet.
Steiner, influenced by Buddhism, Hinduism and Vedic scriptures, drew on their ideas as he formulated his own theories on medicine, education and agriculture. Biodynamic farmers utilise a variety of practices, most of which are guided by a planting calendar based on the sidereal zodiac.
