Embracing biodynamic

According to Elizabeth Calendario, managing director with Demeter USA, the chief certifying agency in the United States for biodynamic agriculture, Demeter membership is growing at about 10 percent per year. This form of holistic agriculture, which views the entire farm as one entity, has gained significant traction this past year—especially as education-focused brands like Back To The Roots have employed a Demeter-certified product, Biodynamic Cinnamon Clusters.

This method of agriculture is specialized. It’s time consuming and intensive. But it’s deeply tied within the regeneration trend, and the benefits of biodynamic farming on soil health are indisputable. Biodynamic is still small. But consumers are slowly understanding the benefits of this growing method.

Examples:

• Delallo Biodynamic Pasta 
• Wholesome! Biodynamic Cane Sugar 
• Nello’s Biodynamic Marinara Heirloom
