: Your ref discusses the 'culture' of mankind, the earth as effected by humans and the environment. It's not really anything to do with cultivation.

biofarming/biodynamic agriculture
maybe an option
Peer comment(s):
| neutral |
Neil Ashby
: I think 'biodynamic agriculture' is a specific methodology within 'organic farming'. 'Biofarming' (yes with that spelling!) refers to plant cultivation for end use in pharmaceuticals (PMPs).

organic crop/s
Organic crops are often known in Spanish and French as as "bio". They seem to think this is common parlance in English, which it isn't.

Pax my namesake, the text does seem to be about "biologically engineered crops", but my assertion that cultivos/verduras "bio" refers to what we know as "organic crops/veg" still stands, especially as refers to point-of-sale labelling. Few products will claim to be GM (or otherwise tampered with) except in very small print.

Yep, "bio" is often used in a similar way to "organic" in English to boost foodstuff sales.

: // "Mediante esta biotecnología aplicada..." referring to biotech. alim., biocrops & ferm. - in applying these techS you believe the result will be 'organic'? You suggest the company bio-engineers AND does organic farming, counter-intuitive, isn't it?

OK, but you are describing "biotecnología aplicada ". My answer specifically addresses "biocultivos" and I stand by what I've posted so far.

Discussion
The term is connected to biotechnology of fermentations in food production for human consumption and in the production of balance feeds for pets. It includes soy products, vegetables, fish, and meat. The goals of the tratments are enhancing natural proporties or improving food conservation.
DO you know what some their actual products are (just giving a generic description not the commercial name)?
Do you know how "los alimentos tratados" are treated? Are those foods for human or animal consumption? Cheers ;)
IMO "fermentación" throws a spanner in the works as well, as it suggests that "biocultivos" could be referring to probiotics and the culture of 'good' bacteria. But on the other hand probiotics are fed to people or animals whereas the text is about soya.....
