Ecosystem technology (ecotech): Harnessing natural processes to address global challenges
Abstract Over the past 80 years, biotechnology has advanced agriculture, health care, and economic development by harnessing biological processes from the organism inward, i.e., from the organ system to the molecular scale. Today’s global challenges, including biodiversity loss, climate change, and pollution, demand a complementary technological expansion inspired by processes operating from the organism outward, i.e., at the levels of populations, communities, ecosystems, and the biosphere.
