Izvleček: The use of genetic engineering in Brazilian soya production intensifies the release of destructive forces that affect both nature and the people working and living on the land. The privatisation of natural resources and knowledge in favour of multinational agricultural corporations and large landowners deepens social inequality in Brazilian society and the chances of resistance by individual small-scale producers and consumers are considerably reduced. It is precisely because the economic, ecological and social problems associated with agriculture threaten the material existence of small farmers that collective approaches could open up an opportunity. The self-organisation of people affected by the capitalist modernisation of agriculture would enable a joint learning, politicisation and social mobilisation process, which would be the prerequisite for a different development dynamic.
