Preparing for Demeter Biodynamic Certification
Demeter Bio-Dynamic certification is not limited to members of the BDAAA or BDGAI. It is available to any farm and its owner/operator meeting the requirements of “The Australian Demeter Bio-Dynamic Standard” (www.demeter.org.au). The Standard also details the requirements for Processors, Wholesalers, Retailers, Importers and Exporters of Demeter Bio-Dynamic Produce.
Australian Demeter Biodynamic Standard (June 2022)
With Australian DEMETER Bio-Dynamic quality certification, more is required than just putting on organic fertilisers and calling this ‘organic’.
DEMETER Bio-Dynamic certification requires a basic soil structure development.
Every aspect of general farm management and soil cultivation must be reconsidered in the light of such insight.
DEMETER quality Bio-Dynamic farm practice produces healthy, living, structured soil. Healthy plants and animals are a result.
