Cadernos de Ciência & Tecnologia, Brasília, v. 42, e27616, 2025. DOI: 10.35977/0104-1096.cct2025.v42.27616. Disponível em: https://apct.sede.embrapa.br/cct/article/view/27616. Acesso em: 2 fev. 2026.e- 0104-1096https://repositorio.bc.ufg.br//handle/ri/29650This research provides a context for the certification processes in storage units, analyzing the legal instruments used by those units to support the technical requirements for certification. Through bibliographical research, the aim of this study was to correlate the laws, decrees and other instruments that guide the requirements of certification processes with other literature relevant to this subject, containing aspects related to biotechnology, biodiversity and sustainability. There is an explanation for the recommendation by the certification process to adopt the technical requirement of identifying GMOs in certified warehouses, demonstrating the importance of using this tool to separate GMOs from conventional grains. The inherent aspects of soybean production with GMO events are presented, and that model is compared with the conventional production model. The production, consumption and safety of GMOs are discussed, in contrast to the decision of some nations to consume conventionally produced food. Thus, factors that attest to the fact that GMO food production is safe for society and the environment are presented, demonstrating the scientific basis of some nations that choose to produce and consume food with GMO events, adopting strict management control criteria.porAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Exigências de mercados externosManejo de herbicidasProcessos certificadoresProteção da biodiversidadeExternal market requirementsHerbicide managementCertification processesBiodiversity protectionArtigo10.35977/0104-1096.cct2025.v42.27616
