Genetic Fingerprint – Innovative Method for Animal Products Traceability in the Context of Bio-economy☆

Abstract The future agriculture must maintain biodiversity and assure food production by the implementation ofdurableinnovative technologies. It is important to use innovative methods in order to determine the traceability of animal products as the concept of bio-economy supposesthe reduction of external marginal costs with the increase of social benefit by the reduction of the bio- resources used.The private marginal benefit for each animal breeder is also represented by the corrective subvention of 10 euros/animal and the co-operation with the sanitary- veterinary authorities leads to the increase of positive externalities. These external marginal benefits must be promoted and supported for an optimal time so as to eliminate sick animals from each EU country. The research team used advanced tools to identify the traceability of the food products (meat or milk) from different breeds as well as the traceability of certain traditional products by molecular tests based on the identification, amplification of nucleic acids for the traceability of food products (by PCR techniques). Several methods for the determination of genetic traceability were tested and applied. The best of all seems to be the DNA analysis as “Genetic Fingerprinting”, which can be found in each cell and more recently, the micro-satellite analysis. This scientific paper presents the results of research concerning the determination of genotypes by microsatellite genetic markers, collecting and preserving the tissue samples by Typi Fix method as well as the influence of positive externalities, which have a role in substantiating the decisions to put into practice certain scientific research results

Developing Georgescu-Roegen'sbioeconomicsconcept with a New Smart Approach, from “Fiat Panis” to “Habemuspanis”, based on a New Economic Theory for Globalised Biopower through more Agrifood and Seafood☆

Abstract The authors analyze, with a special topic, the very good perspectives of knowledge, development and globalized implementation of some important non-conventional economical theories, modernizing “the old” phrases, theories, concepts and paradigms elaborated by the American scientist of romanian origin Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen in the sixth and seventh decade of the past century, known under the generic denomination “bioeconomy/bioeconomics”, that is unfortunately, today, only partially understood, to clearly demonstrate, with professional arguments, the fact that still, in the year 2013, when the world population exceeded 7 billion people out of which over 1.2 billion are affected by hunger of different degrees; there are sufficient natural bio-resources which, by primary eco-bio-geo-strategies are able and should provide the fundamental right to a biological, spiritual and social adequate life. In the end of this work, we suggest more realistic frame projects that are necessary for a sustainable improvement of peoples life living on Terra. It is underlined the common effort of lucidity and flexibility, based on scientific knowledge, and also an intelligent bio-eco-geo-diplomacy, in order to achieve the economic and social progress, welfare and a good governance of ecosanogenesis and also a clever partnership with the eternal nature for globalised biopower through more agrifood and seafood.
