ZOOTECHNICIZING THE INTEGRATED FOOD SYSTEM, BASED ON THE PRINCIPLES OF BIOHARMONISM


Romulus GRUIA1, Liviu GACEU2

Abstract. This paper examines the transformation of cereals into meat, milk, eggs, and other animal products, alongside optimizing the Farm-to-Fork flow as a core objective of the integrated food system in the modern world. The study focuses on optimizing agro-zootechnical anthroposystems by introducing systemic-level conceptual contributions. With the goal of developing highly efficient solutions, the primary objective is to explore future pathways for animal husbandry, driven by multi-layered integration aimed at maximizing added value through the process of bioharmonization. The paper discusses aspects of the dynamic biological-technological equilibrium tied to the homeoresis process, a feature of the “Living Planet” model. The concept of new zootechnicization promotes the implementation of the bioharmony model within the integrated food system, guiding animal production anthroposystems toward scientific and technological harmony with the environment and its resources, while responding to the needs of a rapidly evolving society.

Keywords: bioharmonism, food system, integration, zootechnicization.
