UF researchers help define ‘ecotech,‘ a new field drawing on ecosystem principles

A team of international researchers that includes University of Florida scientists has formally proposed a new discipline called ecotech, which applies the principles of natural ecosystems to the design of technologies. Published in Science Advances, the framework envisions applications ranging from marine-compatible wind farms to more sustainable agriculture. The researchers argue that Florida is well-positioned to become a hub for the emerging ecotech industry.
