If, despite all efforts with the following, there is still the need to use external inputs, make sure that they are approved according to the International Demeter Biodynamic Standard prior to use.

• diversified crop rotation
• sufficient biodiversity
• good biodynamic compost management
• intensive use of the biodynamic preparations

Manufacturers of such inputs can find information about the product registration procedure and related costs under this link.

The approved inputs list is produced in cooperation with FIBL Germany.

Biodynamic farming aims to preserve the integrity of the plants by respecting that barriers to natural breeding are not crossed.

Demeter rejects therefore breeding and propagation techniques which use cell fusion.
