Abstract: Bioeconomy is a concept developed in the past hundred years in humankind’s search for a sustainable way of development. A special emphasis deserve the issues related to agriculture, as food is, along with energy, the metabolic basis of human beings and their societies. This paper contrasts the etymological meaning of the term bioeconomy to the meaning promoted by international institutions (OECD and EU) to explain why a digital bioeconomic society leads to the divergence of natural organisms with artificial organisms. The evolution phases of agriculture, respectively organic agriculture (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, respectively 4.0) are presented. The positive and negative aspects of digital technology use in agriculture are presented.
