Question by redlunarmoon: what is biodynamic agriculture and why is better than organic agriculture?
Best answer:
Answer by senlin
Biodynamic agriculture is based on the beliefs of Rudolf Steiner and has many of the same aspects as organic agriculture. The biggest difference is that biodynamic agriculture places emphasis on the spiritual nature of farming. Biodynamic agriculture becomes a way of life – a way of being and living in the world. Steiner believed that the spiritual shortcomings of the emphasis on chemicals in modern farming was as problematic as the use of the chemicals themselves. He viewed a farm as a single organism which should be a closed, self-sustaining system. The emphasis is on the balance and healing of nature. He was very specific about the preparation and use of fertilizers – critics say that this bordered on alchemy. Some studies have shown that biodynamic farming results in better soil structure than conventional farming. Differences between biodynamic and organic farming have not been shown to be great; proponents of biodynamics feel that organic farming does not address “cures for the ailing Earth.”
