The development of every economy era conforms to an″S″curve of growth . There will be three social forms coexisting in the bioeconomy era :industrial society,information society and human-oriented society,and the relationship between humans and nature will be harmonious .The preliminary laws of bioeconomy at the present stage of growth include the following : the convergence of life sciences and biotechnology,transcendence of the natural processes,bio-process laws,asymmetry of bio-industries,and the law of inverse relations between globalization and research scale . This comparative study indicates that the laws of bioeconomy are harmonious,integrative and liberal,and bioeconomy is the return of agricultural economy at a higher level . It also leads to the conclusion that the concept of″h uman-orientation″will be the basic feature of the bioeconomy era,and modern biotechnology is and will be profoundly changing the mode of economic production and people's lifestyle .
