How is Ag raw ingredient delivery systems the nexus of industrial style efficiency and the biological style of efficiency?
You are right; this is not a frequently asked question. We snuck it in here, as a hidden treasure only the most diligent will find. There is a lot to cover, so let’s get started: Industrial style efficiency is accomplished by the practical, straightforward, top-down application of technology and standardization. Biological style efficiency is accomplished by indirect, bottom-up, coevolutionary relationships and reciprocal rings. Or said in another way, in biology, there are cases where species exert selective pressures on each other, thereby affecting the other’s development—each plays a part in the other’s development that can’t be done by it alone. We put forth that Agriculture’s five-domains (Financial, Logistical, Analytical, Biological, Social—FLABS) have a coevolutionary relationship and Ag raw ingredient delivery systems should use a combination of industrial efficiency and biological efficiency to continuously improve finished product quality consistency and remove hidden waste
