The agriculture of biodynamics, or the biodynamiques ones is a biological system of agriculture (but the limit antedates). It is based on the lesson anthroposophical of Rudolf Steiner, in particular on the eight conferences given by him in 1924 at Schloss Koberwitz in what was then Silesia, Germany nowadays Poland (close to Wrocł aw). When Steiner believed that the introduction of the leasing of chemical was an important problem. Steiner was convinced that the quality of food in its time was degraded, and it believed that the source of problem were the artificial manures and pesticides. However, it did not believe that it was only because of the chemical or biological properties concerning the implied substances, but also because of the spiritual imperfections in the whole chemical approach of the leasing. Steiner considered the world and all in him as simultaneously spiritual and the material in kind, an approach named the monism. It also believed that the living matter was different from the died matter, a point of view generally indicated under the name of vitalism.



The biodynamics of limit was invented by the members of Steiner' S. Any product of biodynamics is also organic. A farm of biodynamics functions the same ones exactly as a firm organics by not employing any pesticide, weedkiller etc; but there are various agricultural methods which are single with the leasing of biodynamics. Those include the field and perforate preparations and a use of calendar astrological to determine periods of the plantation and harvest.

The product of biodynamics is certified by Demeter, but can as well be certified by an organic body of certification. A central aspect of biodynamic is that the farm as a whole is seen like organization, and should thus be a closed individual-nutritive system.

HISTORY.

History the agricultural work coming from the belief of Rudolf Steiner is based at Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland. Not length after the conferences of Steiner on agriculture at the Twenties where by agricultural group of research was formed to examine and check the complaints of Steiner and others concerning the nature of the life and the health of the ground, the factories and the animals. The international association of Demeter for the certification of the farms and the processors which follow the method of biodynamics was launched in 1928. The association of the Demeter United States was formed in the Eighties and certified its first farm in 1982. In the United States, Biodynamic Farming & Gardening Association, Inc. was founded in 1938 like company of the state of New York. In Australia the first preparations of data base were manufactured by Ernesto Genoni in Melbourne in 1927 and by Bob Williams in Sydney in 1939. Since the Fifties the research task continued at the institute of search for search for biodynamics (BDRI) in Powelltown, close to Melbourne Australia under the direction of Alex Podolinsky. Today the biodynamiques ones is practised in the whole world in more than 50 countries.
