La introducción de semillas transgénicas en la actividad agrícola plantea una modificación a la función de producción de la misma, debido a la potencialidad de alcanzar características deseadas tales como mayores rendimientos, lo cual resulta fundamental en un entorno económico caracterizado por la libre competencia. Sin embargo, la aceptación de los productos de la ingeniería genética dista mucho de ser un proceso sencillo; en efecto, se ponen sobre el tapete discusiones relativas a la predominancia de los intereses del sector privado, del monopolio del conocimiento y de la seguridad de estos alimentos.
Este artículo presenta los principales puntos de debate en torno a la adopción de los cultivos transgé-nicos y contribuye a la discusión sobre este tópico para Colombia.
The introduction of transgenic seeds for agricultural purposes poses modification to their production, due to the potential for reaching desired characteristics such as greater yield, this being fundamental in an economic environment characterised by open market conditions. However, acceptance of products resulting from genetic engineering is far from becoming a simple process; discussion relating to the predominance of private sector interests, the monopoly of knowledge and the safety of such seeds/food is currently in the spotlight. This article presents the main points of debate regarding adoption of transgenic cultures, contributing to discussion about this topic for Colombia.
