The risks of biotechnology development are higher proportions of issues than is believed and that proportionately receive little attention from the law. The risk, as a potentiality, appears to be of little concern when compared to the surrounding advantages. The absence of intense discussions in this regard turns out to be disturbing, especially when the  biotechnological  advances  reaches  unknown  dimensions.  This  paper  presents  an interdisciplinary analysis of Law branches pointing to the appreciation of the Agricultural Law and its interaction with the Law of Disasters can be really enhancing and promoting a sustainable  development.  The  research  brings  considerations  about  the  search  for  the development of technologies that can combat endemic hunger serves as positive motivation and at the same time, market the Capital. The conclusion, always under construction, points out the need for publicity and intensification of jus-agraristas debates within the Law of Disasters, especially when it comes to biotech disasters. It is observed that the Agrarian Law has  important  contributions  to  the  Law  of  Disasters  and  both,  to  build  a  sustainable biotechnology development.
