Biodynamics is an advanced organic method in which no artificial fertilizers or chemical sprays are used. The plant is influenced not just by the soil in which it grows, but by the water in the soil and the atmosphere, other plants nearby, the air around it, the amount of light and warmth it receives from the sun, and also the influences coming from other cosmic bodies, the moon, the sun, planets and stars and the entire cosmos. Central aspect of biodynmaics is that the farm as a whole is seen as an organism, and therefore should be a self-nourishing system in which humans as well as plants and animals play an integral role.
