Ecotechnology is an
Ecotechnology emphasizes approaching a problem from a holistic point of view.[citation needed] For example, remediation of rivers should not only consider one single area.[citation needed] Rather, the whole catchment area, which includes the upstream, middle stream and downstream sections, should be considered[by whom?].
Construction can reduce its impact on nature by consulting experts on the environment.[citation needed]
Ecotechnics

During Ecotechnics '95 - International Symposium on Ecological Engineering in Östersund, Sweden, the participants agreed on the definition: "Ecotechnics is defined as the method of designing future societies within ecological frames."
Ecotechnics is defined as the 'techne' of bodies.[clarification needed] Ecotechnics thinks of the body as a technology which makes possible[among whom?] the inclusion of a whole new range of bodies[dubious – discuss]. This gives people[who?] more agency and biopower over their own use of their bodies.[citation needed] This makes it usable[among whom?] for queer theory and disability studies.[citation needed] An interpretation[among whom?] also refers to the term as the craft of the home.[1][failed verification]
In classifying the body as a technical object,[
Nancy also applied the ecotechnics concept to contemporary issues such as war and globalization. He maintained, for instance, that modern conflicts are produced by the dividing lines between: North and South; rich and poor; and, integrated and excluded.[3] He also believes that ecotechnics is undoing communities due to the elimination of the polis and the prevalence of oikos, calling for a global sovereignty that would administer the world as a single household.[4]
