Bio Dynamics from the Greek, Life Energy

 

Alex Podolinsky has had a profound influence on the way we farm and our approach to farming. His outspoken ideas have often raised eyebrows. However the Bio-dynamic methods that he has developed and progressed in Australia have transformed a vast area of agricultural land both in Australia and now around Europe. Land that had been lost to salination in Australia has been regained to farming with this method. Alex's method enlivens the soil and strengthens plants in their true form to guard against disease and improve quality. What particulary appeals in this approach is that it is about the farmers and getting farmers to see or indeed to perceive bio-dynamics working, for if they cannot then why do it.

Alex is shown in the field of Demeter (BioDynamic) malting barley used to make Demeter (BioDynamic) whiskey, a sample of the distillate is in his hand.
