- Encyclopedia of organic, sustainable, and local food, 2010:page 24 (biodynamic agriculture is an ecological production system that relies on balance for success; biodynamic farms are self-sufficient, and, ideally, do not bring in soil, manure, or other additions; thus, this system can be similar to organic farming methods, but the two have distinct certification systems)
