Biopower transformation and the challenge of safe agricultural production (socio-philosophical and political-economic aspects)

Abstract

paper analyzes the character of modern biopower from the socio-philosophical and political-economic viewpoints in the scope of the society's transition to a new technological wave and the necessity of ensuring the secure existence of people. Using argicultural production as an example, the main trends and peculiarities of such transformation, the issues arising in this regard, and the ways to solve them are shown. Their impact on the existential crisis of personality developing in the modern “risk society” is also significant. The authors try to identify the prospects for the development of biopower and modern biopolitics in the scope of the new social reality, growing macroeconomic uncertainty, and risks. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.
