What means
BIODYNAMIC
Con il metodo biodinamico, l’agricoltura è in sintonia con la natura, con la terra e con gli uomini. La concimazione, la coltivazione e l’allevamento sono attuati con modalità che rispettano e promuovono la fertilità e la vitalità del terreno e allo stesso tempo le qualità tipiche delle specie vegetali ed animali. Il profondo legame con la natura e il completo rispetto dei suoi ritmi portano, con l’agricoltura biodinamica, ad abolire l’utilizzo di fertilizzanti minerali sintetici e pesticidi ea gestire il terreno seguendo i cicliin cui la natura è immersa.
With the biodynamic method, agriculture is in harmony with nature, with the earth and with human being. Fertilization, cultivation and breeding are carried out in ways that respect and promote the fertility and vitality of the soil and at the same time the typical qualities of plant and animal species. The deep bond with nature and complete respect for its rhythms lead, with biodynamic agriculture, to abolish the use of synthetic mineral fertilizers and pesticides and to manage the land following the cycles of nature.
