Agri-food economy under the precepts of biological imitation

in hive-175254 •  3 years ago 

CONTENT

As biological beings, nature will always inspire us to create tools under models that follow patterns of organisms, it is worth mentioning that in times of modernity, technological advances correspond mainly to imitations or behaviors of biological elements.

With this content, I will give some guidelines on how a biocyclic economy that responds to the development of technological tools under precepts of productive rationality is being promoted, following the guidelines of disciplines such as biomimicry.

This biological discipline allows us to imitate biological tactics when manufacturing productive systems of a human nature, in order to make them biosphere-friendly, and at the same time develop new technological systems based on the biological procedures carried out by nature.

It is known that imitating biological tactics and natural cycles implies overcoming the mechanistic anthropogenic vision, implemented for decades under the premise of controlling nature through technological tools that guarantee the survival of the human species.

The biomimicry model of life seeks to overcome mechanistic actions, applying new operating modes inspired by nature, mainly through technologies based on productive rationality, by means of systems that harmoniously adjust to the dynamics exerted by nature and where the basic principles of sustainability are respected.

A key sector for imitating biological processes is the food sector. For this sector, the biomimicry vision implies imitating the closed cycles of organic matter, driven by light energy, microbiological activities and interrelationships between organisms in natural ecosystems, in order to apply them in commercial agro-productive systems.

Nature and its processes have always served as a guide and inspiration for the human being for the development of its technological advances, unfortunately, in my opinion, many of these advances instead of being developed with an eco-sustainable vision, with the least possible ecological impact, are intended in many cases change even the biologically correct operation of things, in an effort to obtain the greatest amount of benefits possible.

Very interesting publication friend @lupafilotaxia, thank you for your contribution

Hello @karupanocitizen, in the eco-sustainable vision are the answers to our problems. Thanks for reading. Best regards, good luck.

Moreover Agrifood chains are the linked events in the agricultural production of food – the process being a chain of events from production to processing, trading, distribution and consumption. Literally “from field to fork”.

Hello @benie111, correct but in that scheme you mention variables that we have not been able to correct and that in the end end up causing us diseases. Thanks for reading. Best regards, good luck.

Greetings @lupafilotaxia undoubtedly advances in biological material every day are more amazing and implement them to the agri-food process in search of improvements in certain products make the technique and biomimetic model attractive.

As you express it well in your writing focuses on "overcoming mechanistic actions, applying new modes of operation inspired by nature, mainly through technologies based on productive rationality" Thanks for the contribution.

Hello @madridbg, productive rationality is the key to solving the serious problems we have caused our mother nature. Thanks for reading. Best regards, good luck.

Biology and life has so much to offer and we are students merely trying to catch up.
Some interesting thoughts there @lupafilotaxia

Hi @thetimetravelerz, I loved this phrase "we are students just trying to catch up", that's how we learn from each daily event, we adapt, we evolve and we survive. Thanks for reading. Best regards, good luck.
