The international Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety deals primarily with the agricultural definition but many advocacy groups seek to expand it to include post-genetic threats: new molecules, artificial life forms, and even robots which may compete directly in the natural food chain.
Međunarodni Kartagenski protokol o biološkoj sigurnosti prvenstveno se bavi definicijom u poljoprivredi, ali mnoge grupe zagovarača teže širenju i uključuju postgenske prijetnje: nove molekule, vještačke oblike života, pa čak i robote koji se direktno mogu natjecati u prirodnom lancu ishrane.
