Resumo: International agricultural trade has greatly altered the way food is grown, negatively affecting peasant livelihood and the natural environment. While the literature on this is extensive, efforts to understand how genetic variety is effected within such a process is limited. Wherefore, in this paper we explore the factors that determine the place of genetic resources in international trade. This is done by creating a conceptual framework to analyse different forms of power, a process necessary due to its contemporary fungible nature, in an attempt to asses how biotechnology can disclose power’s other characteristics. We demonstrate how the instrumental use of biotechnology has become an apparatus to control food production globally and a means by which the international market homogenises food production. Through the use of a bio/geopolical gaze we identify that this course occurs within the realm of bioecnomics and geoeconomics. Keywords: international agricultural trade; genetic resources; bio/geopolitics.

Si bien la literatura sobre esto es extensa, los intentos de comprender cómo se realiza la variedad genética en este proceso son limitados. Por lo tanto, en este artículo, exploramos los factores que determinan el lugar de los recursos genéticos en el comercio internacional. Esto se hace creando un marco conceptual para analizar diferentes formas de poder, un proceso necesario debido a su naturaleza fungible contemporánea, en un intento de evaluar cómo la biotecnología puede revelar otras características del poder. Demostramos cómo el uso instrumental de la biotecnología se ha convertido en un aparato para controlar la producción de alimentos a nivel mundial y un medio por el cual el mercado internacional homogeneiza la producción de alimentos. A través de una mirada bio/geopolítica identificamos que este curso se procede dentro del ámbito de la bioecnómica y la geoeconomía.
