Have you heard about biodynamic farming techniques?

Yeah, I read that they focus on using natural materials for better soil health.

Root Explanation

Biodynamic → It is formed from "bio-" (from Greek "bios", meaning life) and "dynamic" (from Greek "dynamis", meaning power or force). The word "biodynamic" refers to a method of farming that emphasizes the life forces and vitality of the farm ecosystem.

Memory Tip

Think of 'life' ('bio-') being influenced by 'power' ('dynamic') — that's why biodynamic farming focuses on the life forces in agriculture.
