"Buckwheat is sourced from biodynamic farms." Er... why? Is this a joke?
Hello spider-mario, thank you for your request. Unfortunately, we don't quite understand it. Could you please clarify it for us? Best regards, your M-Infoline team
My question concerns why Migros promotes magical thinking and esotericism based on cow dung stored in horns. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_biodynamique "Biodynamic agriculture, also commonly known as biodynamics, is a magical agricultural production system originating from the esoteric and pseudo-scientific current of anthroposophy. Its dogmatic foundations were laid by Rudolf Steiner in a series of lectures given in 1924 [...] Although it shares certain methods with organic farming, biodynamics is radically different in its resolutely occult dimension. The most profound divergence between organic agriculture and biodynamics lies in the idea of 'dynamizing' soils and other materials by means of 'cosmic forces'. Thank you.
Hello spider-mario, thank you for your further explanation. Demeter products are very popular. We are well aware that not everyone perceives the Demeter philosophy and the approach to biodynamic agriculture in the same way. The foundations of biodynamic agriculture were laid almost a century ago, based on an anthroposophical worldview. Today, the Demeter guidelines for production and processing form the basis of the Demeter brand. Although some of the Demeter guidelines include prescriptions that have been subjected to little or no scientific study, we are convinced that biodynamic cultivation is justified.
Demeter emphasizes mutually supportive cycles. The key to its success is the use of home-grown fertilizers and regional, diversified plant cultivation. Soils are thus livelier, richer in species and store more CO2. Demeter also attaches great importance to animal welfare, ensuring that livestock are raised in conditions that respect their needs. Demeter complies with stricter processing guidelines than any other label, so that the high quality of agricultural products is preserved right through to the consumer.
Migros wants to make organic products accessible to everyone, including those who do not wish to use the Demeter label. This is why we offer a wide range of organic products from different labels in all price classes. The Migros organic range, including that of the Alnatura organic supermarkets, comprises some 7380 products and is constantly expanding. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Thanks for this reply, but I don't feel it offers a very convincing justification. It looks like a mixture of circular reasoning ("there's no good reason to believe in it but it's still justified because [rephrasing the unfounded claims of biodynamics]") and red herrings / false dichotomies / strawmen who would insinuate that animal welfare or the quality of agricultural products would be a specificity of Demeter - and not very convincingly, unless you're looking for a more convincing answer.être animal ou la qualité des produits agricoles seraient une spécificité de Demeter - et pas de façon très convaincante à moins de penser que prioritiser les soins homéopathiques (alors que "homeopathy has the same scientific plausibility as using Harry Potter's wand to treat illness" [1]) ou tuer des cerfs pour leur vessie (préparation 502) soient des contributions positives au bien-être animal.
