Organismos geneticamente modificados na agricultura: histórico, impactos, incertezas e legislação ambiental

Abstract

The use of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in agriculture has been the target of attention of the international community, reverberating greatly in the different areas of human knowledge. In front of the several questions resulting from the intensive use of these organisms and the effects it has generated to the environment, the present research sought to analyze the historical, technical and social aspects related to the subject in question, noticing all the uncertainties about the relevant legal provisions. In a scenario of uncertainties about the harmful effects of the use of GMO, it was observed that the inconsequent and irresponsible use of the technology has provoked several impacts, it has been causing to the environment impacts and damages of complex measurement. In this regard, the applicability of the environmental protection in the light of the implantations of GMOs in the environment as also been verified, by the Precautionary Principle, above any inference. Accordingly, a revision of literature was made aiming to bring to society a structured survey about the use of GMO and the eventually hazards to the biodiversity. Therefore, the concern with the environment and biodiversity has won a prominent position and has become the center of all of the legal protection with most applicability of Law. For a more objective legislation, the Biosafety Law was discussed in order that the urban and rural population, among others, have theirs rights secured regarding the environment health. From the analyzed references, such as book, websites, journals, scientific magazines, interviews and documentaries, the existence of environmental risks that the GMOs can refer us was verified, as well as their effects and serious consequences, potentially devastating for the preservation and continuity of ours biodiversity. Lastly, it was possible to conclude that the applicability of the raised hypothesis, the Precautionary Principle, must always be considered in the relevant issues regarding the environment protection and as a device of risk and impact prevention, resulting from the GMOs.

A utilização dos Organismos Geneticamente Modificados (OGMs) na agricultura tem sido alvo da atenção da comunidade internacional, repercutindo sobremaneira nas diferentes áreas do conhecimento humano. Diante das diversas questões decorrentes do uso intensivo destes organismos e dos efeitos causados ao meio ambiente, a presente pesquisa buscou analisar os aspectos históricos, técnicos e sociais relacionados ao tema em questão, observando sobretudo as incertezas acerca dos instrumentos legais pertinentes. Observou-se que em um cenário de incertezas sobre os efeitos danosos quando da utilização do OGM, o uso inconsequente e irresponsável da tecnologia tem provocado impactos diversos, causando ao meio ambiente impactos e danos de complexa mensuração. Neste sentido, também foram verificados a aplicabilidade da proteção ambiental face à implantação dos OGMs no meio ambiente, pelo Princípio da Precaução, acima de qualquer inferência. Assim, foi realizada uma revisão de literatura visando trazer para a sociedade, um levantamento estruturado sobre o uso do OGM e os eventuais prejuízos à biodiversidade. Portanto, a preocupação com o meio ambiente e a biodiversidade assumiu posição de destaque, sendo o cerne de toda a proteção jurídica com maior aplicabilidade do Direito. Por uma legislação mais objetiva, foi tratada a Lei de Biossegurança, para que as populações urbana e rural, entre outras, tenham seus direitos assegurados quanto à saúde ambiental. A partir das referências analisadas, tais como livros, websites, jornais, revistas científicas, entrevistas e documentários, verificou-se a existência dos riscos ambientais a que podem nos remeter os OGMs, bem como de seus efeitos e sérias consequências, potencialmente devastadoras para a preservação e continuidade de nossa biodiversidade. Por fim, foi possível concluir que a aplicabilidade da hipótese levantada, o Princípio da Precaução, deve ser sempre considerada nas questões pertinentes à proteção do meio ambiente e como instrumento de prevenção aos riscos e impactos ambientais decorrentes dos OGMs.
