In 1924 Rudolf Steiner (scientist, philosopher, architect and founder of the Waldorf School and anthroposophy) devised agricultural and horticultural life force production methods known as Biodynamics. Steiner presented a series of agricultural lectures, which suggested that farms are living organisms and are responsible for creating and maintaining their own individual health and vitality.
