  • Octubre De 2008
    Octubre de 2008 1 Cómo volver mercancía hasta la última brizna de hierba Ingeniería genética extrema y la economía post-petrolera del azúcar Octubre de 2008 Debido a la crisis del petróleo, a la escalada en los precios de los combustibles y a la crisis del clima, las corporaciones redirigen su entusiasmo hacia una “revolución de la ingeniería biológica” que algunos auguran transformará dramáticamente la producción industrial de alimentos, energía, materias primas, medicina y la naturaleza entera. Los entusiastas de las tecnologías convergentes prometen una era post-petróleo más verde y limpia, donde la producción de compuestos importantes para la economía no dependerá de los combustibles fósiles, sino de la manufactura de plataformas biológicas alimentadas por azúcares vegetales. Tal vez suene dulce y limpio, pero la llamada “economía del azúcar” también catalizará la voracidad de las corporaciones por toda la materia vegetal — y con ello, la destrucción de la biodiversidad a una escala masiva. La bioeconomía del futuro dependerá de la “ingeniería genética extrema”, un conjunto de tecnologías que aún se encuentran en sus etapas iniciales de desarrollo: secuenciamiento genético barato y rápido; partes biológicas hechas a la orden, ingeniería y diseño de genomas; fabricación de materiales y sistemas operativos en la nanoescala. El denominador común es que todas estas tecnologías —biotecnología, nanotecnología, biología sintética— involucran el diseño de organismos en la nanoescala. Esta convergencia tecnológica promueve la convergencia del poder corporativo. Las nuevas tecnologías de bioingeniería atraen miles de millones de dólares de financiamiento de los gigantes de los químicos y los agronegocios, entre los que se incluyen DuPont, BP, Shell, Chevron, Cargill, entre otros.
