This practical book argues instead for a holistic method of farming: the farm as a living organism. This is the principle of biodynamic farming.The author, an experienced farmer, takes a down-to-earth approach. Based on an example farm of around 60 hectares, he recommends the ideal numbers of livestock: 12 cows, 4 horses, 6 pigs, 10 sheep and 120 hens. This mix is drawn from Osthaus's deep understanding of nature, animals, agriculture and the cosmos, and from his many years of personal experience as a biodynamic farmer and teacher. The result is a healthy, balanced and sustainable farm.This is an invaluable book for anyone considering setting up a farm, or developing their existing farm with new biodynamic methods.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51882707616032,"sku":"NEW0863157661","price":17.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/717O6cxi5rL.jpg?v=1781848070","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-biodynamic-farm-developing-a-holistic-organism-0863157661","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
