Steiner was an Austrian philosopher and social reformer, who founded a system of organic farming known as biodynamic agriculture. He was attacked by Hitler and the nazis from 1920.
Biodynamics has much in common with other organic approaches – it emphasizes the use of manures and composts and excludes the use of artificial chemicals on soil and plants. Methods unique to the biodynamic approach include its treatment of animals, crops, and soil as a single system; an emphasis from its beginnings on local production and distribution systems; its use of traditional and development of new local breeds and varieties.
