Demeter: The Biodynamic Label

The biodynamic approach was developed in the 1920s by Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophy. It is based on practices such as the use of biodynamic preparations, careful monitoring of the lunar calendar, composting, the use of organic seeds, and crop rotation. These methods aim to promote soil regeneration, biodiversity, and plant health while minimizing environmental impact.

The Demeter label is synonymous with excellence in biodynamic products. To obtain Demeter certification for processed products, producers must adhere to strict criteria:

Products must be certified organic, thus meeting stringent standards for environmentally friendly cultivation and production.
Products must contain at least 90% Demeter ingredients, ensuring a predominance of elements grown according to biodynamic principles.
Processing methods must comply with the standards set by the Demeter label, ensuring respectful handling of biodynamic ingredients.
Products must not contain any ingredient or additive prohibited by the Demeter specifications, thus ensuring product purity.
Packaging materials must also meet Demeter’s requirements, contributing to an overall sustainable approach.
Complete traceability of raw materials and Demeter products must be ensured within the company, guaranteeing total transparency.
Demeter-certified companies commit to adhering to social and societal responsibility requirements, contributing to an ethical and sustainable approach.
By choosing Demeter-certified products, you support agriculture that respects nature and its rhythms while enjoying products of exceptional quality. Biodynamics and the Demeter label embody a commitment to sustainability, ecological balance, and quality, promoting a respectful relationship between humanity and the earth.
