Abstract
The type and “nature” of technological innovation sponsored by the agroindustry as a basis of its business, is a highly debated issue because of both, its uncertainty on ‘technical’ aspects and its socio-ecological impacts and implications. This paper reviews the case of the genetically modified organisms (GMO) and its relation with the promotion of the agrofuel production business. The analysis offers a sociopolitical perspective, meaning the appraisal of the process of agreement and clash of agroindustry’s interests towards the socioecological limits of its projects. The main study case is Latin America.
