		Science is produced through the existence of the "scientific establishment", formed by the group of institutions, persons and resources directly involved in the production of new knowledge accordingly to certain "internal" rules and procedures.
		Science must now, once again, engage the totality of human aspirations as the context in which scientific knowledge and understanding is advanced, and its application to human welfare engaged.
		Science which is represented by scientists and their conscience is required to achieve basic human needs, make further research in agriculture, industry and mining so as to develop economy, and improve education and disseminate cultural concepts to overcome ignorance, diseases and poverty.findings lest they should be used in destruction and domination.

		We recognise IPCC as the world's most reliable source of information on climate change and its causes, and we endorse its method of achieving this consensus.
		Despite increasing consensus on the science underpinning predictions of global climate change, doubts have been expressed recently about the need to mitigate the risks posed by global climate change.
		We believe that there is also a need for a major co-ordinated research effort focusing on the science and technology that underpin mitigation and adaptation strategies related to climate change.

		It is natural that, in this respect, that there be astonishment and protest demanding safer methods (for biotechnology) on the pretext of the threat of a noxious degradation of the environment.
		Therefore, it is clear that we need not renounce technological advances due to simple fear of the new, but rather adopt whatever safety measures are appropriate, as have done all the nations where biotechnology is already a reality, including Brazil.
		What is in question today is the application of a technological tool, the encouragement of Brazilian scientific progress and the right of choice for farmers.

		It is through these tools that we are discovering the origins of the universe, the composition of matter and genetic code, making the practices of Science one of the most fascinating adventures of the human spirit, where challenges are unlimited.
