I’m not sure that it’s a predecessor to integrated farming. Biodynamic agriculture has some similar practices, some of it makes sense but most doesn’t. It’s about “harvesting cosmic forces”, astrology and using preparations with stuff like urinary bladders from red deer, the small intestines of cattle, the skull of a domesticated animal or the mesentery of a cow…
Yeah, predecessor is a poor choice of words. They did some of the right things for the wrong reasons before agricultural science caught up with reality. More of a broken watch kind of situation.
