Transgenic crops: a sociological view

Abstract

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) are beings whose DNA has been altered because of human interests. This essay will try to show how the development of GMO grown for alimentation was by using ―in order to give coherence to our study― the Actor‐Network Theory. Thus, we will detect the actors involved, the interests they are creating and the relationships established between the actors, and we will see how those elements create a network whose stability can never be assured.
