Publication on Synecoculture from Nature Research

Masatoshi Funabashi has published a perspective article from Nature Partner Journal Science of Food:

Human augmentation of ecosystems: objectives for food production and science by 2045

This perspective paper defines a novel paradigm, the anthropogenic augmentation of ecosystems, as a solution to health-diet-environment trilemma.

Based on this perspective, FOOD flagship project was established in the UniTwin UNESCO Complex Systems Digital Campus.

From 2020, this e-laboratory changed its name from “Open Systems Exploration for Ecosystems Leveraging” to “Human Augmentation of Ecosystems”, taking the perspective article as the landmark publication of the initial phase in CS-DC.
