Abstract: Integrating retro-innovation and smart technologies in biodynamic agriculture offers a promising pathway to sustainable farming. Retro-innovation combines traditional wisdom with modern advancements, while biodynamic agriculture offers a holistic approach to cultivation. Smart technologies, including IoT sensors, AI, drones, and blockchain, enhance precision and efficiency in farming practices. However, implementing these technologies in biodynamic agriculture presents challenges, including philosophical conflicts, infrastructure limitations, and cultural resistance. Despite these obstacles, the synthesis of traditional methods and modern technology through retro-innovation shows promise in creating resilient, sustainable agricultural systems. This integration has the potential to address contemporary challenges such as climate change and resource scarcity while preserving valuable traditional practices. Successful implementation requires interdisciplinary collaboration, policy support, and education to bridge the gap between traditional wisdom and technological innovation in agriculture.
