| dc.description.abstract | This literature review explores the role of biomimicry in the field of life sciences and its potential for large-scale adoption by society. Biomimicry, a philosophy inspired by nature, seeks to imitate natural elements and systems to solve human problems in sustainable and efficient ways. The review examines the core principles of biomimicry, its applications in various fields, and the challenges associated with its implementation. It also discusses the role of life scientists in promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and driving innovation towards a more sustainable and nature-inspired approach. The review concludes that the field of life science can aid in the large scale adoption of the biomimicry philosophy. Additionally, the report discusses how biomimicry has the potential to bring about significant changes and contribute to a paradigm shift towards a more sustainable and resilient society. | |
