Agrobusiness issues and CRISPR crops: Where is the technological change headed?
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Most of the strategies to face agribusiness problems come from biotechnological development. The persistence and aggravation of problems, the growing social rejection of transgenic crops and the constant need for innovation, lead to the need to look for alternative solutions. In this context, CRISPR technologies emerged and, with them, a new way of developing modified plants for cultivation, full of great promise and positive evaluations regarding their productive and economic potential. Objective: In this work, we will evaluate how CRISPR technologies respond to the agribusiness problem complex, taking into account the persistence, aggravation or eradication of recognized problems and the emergence of new problems. Methodology: The proposed methodology consists of the compilation of bibliographic sources through key words and a critical analysis of the recognized agribusiness problems in the context of the emergence of a significant technological change. Conclusions: Our analysis shows that CRISPR technologies replicate the model that today works with transgenics, without questioning it and increasing the possibilities of aggravating problems such as contamination with agrochemicals.
