This YouTube video (Ben Greenfield, July 6, 2023) introduces biodynamics as an approach that treats a farm as a living, breathing organism rather than solely a production unit. The speaker contrasts biodynamic thinking with conventional production-focused farming and defines "organic" production here as the absence of synthetic chemical compounds (e.g., glyphosate, herbicides, larvicides, fungicides, insecticides) used to prop up depleted soils or maintain failing plants.

Dynamics is looking at the entire system in its in its full entirety as one living, breathing organism versus looking at a farm as something to just produce and yield. Product at organic just means it doesn't have glyphosate or herbicides, larvicides, fungicides, insecticides, or other chemical compounds that are used to either keep a depleting soil alive or keep certain plants and fruit trees able to produce while they're withering away in their root systems.
