Biodynamic Farming
Rudolf Steiner, a controversial public figure, introduced biodynamic principles by encouraging farmers to look to the cosmos before planting and harvesting crops. He wasn't wrong about every aspect of biodynamic farming because he was looking at the way industrial farming had been started in Europe since like World War I. There were a lot of problems with industrial agriculture as there are today. And he was one of the first people who pointed that out. It's just a lot of vaguely positive flowery language about the spirit of the land.
