Illegal entrance of GM in food market has revealed diversity in arguments and concerns connected to liberation and commercialization of these products. Provisory law number 131, signed in September 2003 by president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, temporarily allowed farmers to plant transgenic soy.

The objective is to show which sources and arguments were used in the coverage, analyzing if there was efficiency in informing about opposite opinions on the subject. |
