Resumen
Actualmente hay sectores relacionados con la agrobiotecnología que promueven a la edición génica como una técnica compatible y complementaria a la agroecología, y como estrategia para lograr la seguridad alimentaria, y de mitigación y adaptación al cambio climático. La edición génica es capaz de insertar, eliminar o modificar nucleótidos de ADN o ARN en regiones genéticas específicas, a la vez que presenta efectos no deseados. Los promotores de la edición génica argumentan que las mutaciones introducidas no suponen ningún riesgo para el ambiente y/o la salud humana, por lo que estos productos deberían estar exentos de regulación, evaluación de riesgos, trazabilidad y etiquetado, lo que restringiría la libertad de elección de agricultores y consumidores. Una coexistencia basada en relaciones asimétricas no parece posible, sino que debe abordarse desde los desafíos epistemológicos y estructurales, por lo que se sugiere un alejamiento de los principios y prácticas académicas positivistas y corporativas, incluyendo la interdisciplina tal como se practica hoy en día. Esto sólo podrá lograrse con una comprensión, subversión y transformación del orden ontológico dominante. Además de problematizar sobre la supuesta “compatibilidad epistémica y estructural” entre la agrobiotecnología y la agroecología esperamos que este trabajo pueda contribuir a elaborar un espacio donde surjan nuevas prácticas, tecnologías transdisciplinares, multiagentes, colaborativas y coevolutivas, que ayuden a resolver muchas de las cuestiones más básicas y acuciantes del momento, pero también a proyectar una ciencia basada en el bienestar, y a construir un mundo donde prosperen las buenas relaciones entre los seres humanos y sus entornos sociales, culturales y naturales.
