Biodynamic farming in India

India is probably one of the places where the principles of biodynamic farming, which began in Germany over 90 years ago, are still socially accepted and in practice. Biodynamic practices focus on planting and harvesting of crops according to a calendar based on the positions of the moon and stars. This relates well to the popular affinity for astrology in India. SARG Vikas Samiti has been promoting biodynamic agricultural practices in India with an affiliation with over 50,000 farmers. Biodynamic farming practices are being used to salvage damaged soil, with the intended outcome being improved crop yields. Can biodynamic farming practices help resolve Indian farmers’ agriculture woes? https://www.spireresearch.com/newsroom/spirethoughts/biodynamic-farming-in-india/
