Abstract:-Biodynamic farms and gardens mainly mimic the biodiversity of natural ecosystems, amplifying the health and resilience of the farm organism. Annual and perennial vegetables, herbs, flowers, berries, fruits, nuts, grains, pasture, forage, native plants, and pollinator hedgerows can very much contribute to plant diversity. Diversity in livestock is much beneficial, as each animal species brings a different relationship to the land and unique quality of manure. The diversity of plant and animal life can be mainly developed over time, starting with a few primary crops and one or two species of livestock (even as small as earthworms or honeybees), and adding more species as the farm organism matures.
