What Does ‘Biodynamic’ Mean?

As a consumer you may recognise organic products, but what about biodynamic? What are they exactly, and how do they differ from organic? 

Biodynamic farming is still organic farming; however, it takes processes to another level. It is founded on the principles of self-sufficiency and a closed-loop farming system in harmony with nature. While organic farming allows bringing in organic animal feed and compost, biodynamic farming aims to minimise these external inputs, so that the farm becomes a self-sustaining ecological system.
