International Conference on
Technologies and Strategic Management
of Sustainable
Biosystems
6-9 July 2008

the IOBB2008 Webpage
Biosystems are a sustainable approach for the management of natural
resources. In the past the provision of water, food, energy and shelter
throughout the world has been largely by biosystems. This is evident
even today throughout the developing world and in rural regions.
Increased urbanization and dependence on mechanical technologies
coupled with lifestyle changes and market driven economic centralism
is consuming resources in un-sustainable ways. This urban-lifestyle
and commercial activity is often unconnected with surrounding ecosystems
and biosystems. In questioning the sustainability of lifestyle and
commercial activities old approaches have been re-assessed and refined.
Development of decentralised technologies that mimic biosystems
have led to real commercial gains without sacrificing a sustainable
approach.
Decentralised approaches and the move toward integration of high-tech
solutions and biosystems guarantee innovation. The use of biosystems
and models derived from them can have real benefit to the environment
and economy at the same time.
This conference aims to bring together people working in all sectors,
academics, industrialists and community workers who have technologies
and experiences to share, suitable for both developing and developed
countries. The conference will primarily focus on the technical
aspects of IBS and their integration into society.
