Industrialization has led to a gradual impoverishment of the ecosystems from which we extract resources. In the face of the rich biodiversity of our planet, the modern world has been built on the exploitation of material and ecological monocultures. Is it possible to overturn this paradigm? Syntropic Materials looks at biomaterials as tools to design production processes based on the creation of agro-ecological systems with high biodiversity.
