Abstract

The Brazilian Press, based on a economical perspective, has contributed in spreading a false concept of sustentability, infected by big multinationalinterests. It judges the local knowledge, the defense of biodiversity and the resistence in transgenics as traces of a primitive culture, in opposition of the scientific thought. To revert this process and to establish a criticai postureconcerning the "chemical mentality", it is essential to qualiíy the journalists, pointing out to them how the big interests actually work. This article identifies the ways of operation of multinational companies that intend to reach the monopoly of seed and agricultural outputs.
