Resumo
This article tries to describe how industrial, agricultural an scientific knowledge connect to concrete and abstract elements of the process of knowledge to determine technological trends. The growing use of biotechnologies tends to increasingly change the common foundations of the knowledge used in agriculture and food production. Even though the development of biotechnologies seems to fit, today, into a model of continuity with existing techniques, its complete potential could imply a new definition of the relationship between man and nature, making it possible to articulate the production of agricultural consumption goods and the reproduction of the environment. Biotechnologies, being techniques that are strongly science-oriented and having been the cause of a long debate about how techniques are born and develop, serve as a specially important new begining for a general discussion about the evolution of agricultural technologies, from the standpoint of the formation and combination of knowledge.
