There are currently several movements of biodynamic,
organic and ecologic agriculture that can be grouped together under
the generic term of alternative agriculture.
This alternative agriculture belongs
to a vaster ‘environmentalist’ movement which has been developed
due to the realisation of a growing number of people of the consequence
of our actions on the environment.
"Bio-dynamic agriculture assures
the health of the soil and plantlife in order to obtain healthy
nutrition for humans and animals. It is based on a profound comprehension
of the laws of the ‘living’, acquired through a qualitative-global
vision of nature. This approach considers that nature is no longer
able to fight for itself and that it is necessary to inject into
the soil the necessary fertilisation which is indispensable to the
health of plants, animals and humans, thanks to its therapeutic
procedures."
| The
method of bio-dynamic agriculture focuses on 3 points : |
| - |
the treatment of the soil and plantlife
in its natural environment, using vegetable, animal and mineral-based
mixtures.
|
| - |
The application of these
mixtures and specific times and cycles of the year (this is
part of the dynamic process) |
| - |
The working of the soil
using ploughing and scraping techniques |
|
|
|
Bio-Dynamism is an approach which goes
much further than the simple omission of chemical and synthetic
products.
It is above all a method of working the land. It
consists of ensuring balance and creating conditions which allow
land, plantlife and environment to exist in harmony.
