The regulation of agricultural biotechnology –internationally and nationally– has a number of challenges given the nature of those involved: indigenous and local communities, businesses, governments, consumers, scientists. This application involves technological inputs, but also risks to the environment,human and animal health and in general can affect the livelihoods of rural society. This paper investigates the regulatory mechanisms in a dispute. Global governance tries to confront different perspectives on biosafety. The value and use of biodiversity outlined to account for this is biocultural processes. It discusses the standards set by the Convention on Biological Diversity regarding living modified organisms through the Protocol of Cartagena with an emphasis on socioeconomic and cultural considerations. Finally integrated alternatives are proposed to improve biosecurity on LMOs.
