A função socioambiental das patentes de plantas geneticamente modificadas no Brasil / The socio-environmental function of the genetically modified plants patents

Reichardt, Fernanda Viegas 15 May 2015 (has links)
Trata-se de um estudo interdisciplinar que aborda os aspectos socioambientais dos problemas associados ao uso da terra e à conservação da natureza, frente à legislação brasileira vigente e dentro da perspectiva da Ecologia Política. Em especial, dedica-se à Biotecnologia Moderna e ao Direito. Mais especificamente, procurou-se analisar a proteção da plantas geneticamente modificadas através de direitos de patente [direitos relativos à propriedade industrial] em contraposição à obrigação de se cumprir uma função socioambiental. A partir da teoria das linhas abissais proposta por Boaventura de Sousa Santos, buscou-se um aprofundamento da perspectiva socioambiental dos problemas relacionados à Biotecnologia Moderna. Verificou-se se os aspectos socioambientais são considerados em conjunto pela legislação e quais as implicações desta relação. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, tanto em relação à Biotecnologia Moderna, quanto ao Direito. Há expectativa de que este estudo contribua com subsídios necessários para a defesa dos interesses humanos mais básicos atingidos pelos resultados das ciências genéticas e suas aplicações na agricultura moderna no Brasil. / This inter-disciplinary study focus the social-environmental issues associated to land use and to the conservation of nature in view of the current Brazilian legislation and within a Political Ecology perspective. In particular, it is dedicated to Modern Biotechnology and Law. More specifically, we analyzed the protection of plants through patent rights [industrial property rights] in contraposition to the obligation to comply with the socio-environmental function. As a follow-up of the abyssal line theory proposed by Boaventura de Souza Santos, we look for a deepening of the socio-environmental perspective of the problems related to Modern Biotechnology. We verified if the socio-environmental aspects are being considered by the legislation, and which are the implications of this relation. This study was developed through literature and documental search, as much in Modern Biotechnology as in Law. It is expected that this study contributes with subsidies to the defense of the most basic human interests, hit by the results of genetic sciences and their applications in modern agriculture in Brazil.

An analysis of public perception towards consuming genetically modified crops and the acceptance of modern agricultural biotechnology: a South African case study

Makaure, Cleopas 01 1900 (has links)
Text in English / South Africa is one of the biggest producers of genetically modified crops in the world. However, recent studies in South Africa show a low public willingness to consume genetically modified crops and accept modern agricultural biotechnology. The study analysed public perception towards consuming genetically modified crops and the acceptance of modern agricultural biotechnology in South Africa. 220 participants (N = 220) were sampled from the city of Kempton Park and the Chi-square formula was used to determine how well the sample represented the population under study. Data was collected using a 7-point Likert scale questionnaire designed following the guidelines for developing a theory of planned behaviour questionnaire in Ajzen (1991, 2001). Data analyses were carried out using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The Cronbach’s alpha and Exploratory Factor Analysis were both used to determine the internal consistency and validity of the questionnaire. Correlations, independent sample t-tests, ANOVA, linear regression, and path analysis were also conducted. Findings of the study confirmed that there is low public willingness to consume genetically modified crops and to accept modern agricultural biotechnology in South Africa. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Studies)
