Biomimicry

(Draft only)

Biomimicry (by Humans) is an approach to innovation and practice that seeks to translate the resiliency of nature into human productivity by emulating nature’s time-tested structures and methods.

Holistic Biomimicry in humans arises from the observation that in the abundant explosion of life on Earth, there is a coming together in communities (of plants, animals, bacteria, fungi) that embrace and are embraced by the whole. In regenerative agriculture might consider these communities of farmalogical beings who care for the biosphere (places below, above and one the earth) in which they exist in sync with the lores of Nature.

Biomimetic activities can be categorized into three different levels:

• the organism level,
• the behavior level, and
• the ecosystem level.

Within each of these levels, five dimensions of Nature's function or action can be emulated:

• Form,
• Material,
• Construction,
• Process, and
• Function.
