Abstract
Humanity is now living in a tightly-integrated world, and this integration rapidly continues to grow. The forces of this integration are well-known: they are the Third and the Fourth industrial revolutions and their natural and social consequences. The aim of the article is to show that all sciences and social practices should follow to such integrative process that is they should be the systemic and interdisciplinary ones. It follows that recently any social action, including all environmental transformations , and their relationships have in essence the systemic nature and therefore should be represented in interdisciplinary manner. The metabolic processes i.e. the qualitative transformation of a particular social organism, matter and energy, are the key moments in such interactions and transformations.
