Biodynamic farming enhance the microlife in the soil by bringing lot of
organic matter and minerals thru composted plants and manure.Some are
brought in very small doses but can have a huge impact because of the
information they carry .
few words sometimes have more impacts than a long dissertation.
Even if we don't believe that information can be transmitted from plants to
water ( some people say that water memorise every thing it comes in contact
with, ) Homeopathie can work just by not disturbing the natural healing
ability of the body or the soil . The placebo effect work the same way than
pill . it works by transmetting a message to the body , but the vehicle
instead of being matter , is sound . The brain make sense of the sound the
same way than the digestive system makes sense of the food by extracting its
meaning ( carried to the blood by nutrients).
All what i am saying is that "information" comes thru many means.

About the soil, there is a theorie that say that plants are feeding off the
protoplasm of microorganism who themselves feed directly on minerals.
If it is true it makes sense that a plant fed on whole food will be  better
nourished and healthier than a plant fed on refined minerals .
