Abstract

This paper critically examines claims to knowledge in the context of biotechnology organisations, in particular, the agricultural biotechnology (agri-biotech) industry. Strong claims and counterclaims have been made in the field with regards to risk ('bio-safety'), the alleviation of human poverty, 'bioserfdom', and 'bio-feudalism'. A Foucauldian perspective on the relationship between power, knowledge and discourse is used as an analytical and critical framework to examine this contest.
