Abstract: This paper analyzes the relation between nature and society within the frameworkof the new biotechnological productions, through a critical assessment of modernbiotechnological interventions into Nature.

This reinvention emerges from a re-appropriationof Nature based in scientific knowledge and a symbolic operation which, throughthe discourse of sustainable development, reshapes the concept of nature to meet therequirements of standardization, control and capitalization, under market and capitalneeds.
