Abstract

Legitimation of public policies that support the widespread plantings of transgenic crops presuppose, among other conditions, that evidence supports that there are no unmanageable environmental risks and there are no better ways to produce enough nourishing food that can dispense with the transgenics-oriented ways. This paper discusses: the kinds of scientific inquiry that are needed to address adequately, the connections between investigations of and , and how these investigations are related with controversial social values.A legitimação de políticas públicas que apóiam o cultivo de lavouras transgênicas em larga escala pressupõe, entre outras condições, que os dados empíricos garantem não haver riscos ambientais não-administráveis e, a não-existência de modos melhores de produzir alimentos sem a utilização de técnicas transgênicas. O artigo discute: Os tipos de investigação científica necessários para um exame adequado da condição , como as investigações sobre e se relacionam entre si, e como tais investigações se relacionam com valores sociais controvertidos
