Abstract
This paper discusses if the AgBiotechnology Industry is perceived inside the Social Contract frame or not. The paper also discusses the consideration of the perception of social contract theory and the degree to which is it accepted or otherwise; as well as to what extent this perception can be seen to provide possible solutions to the problematic issues of the AgBiotechnology industry and society.

From the Paper
"Despite the view of trust put forward by theorists like Gauther who views trust as essentially a rational part of the of the contractual agreement, trust can also be seen in terms of the integration of the various other factors, such as reciprocity and exposure to knowledge. Seen from an integrated perspective, trust increases and extends the various components of the Social Contract and increases the potentiality towards a positive perception of AgBiotechnology.
Furthermore, trust also suggests a strong social dimension. It is in this sense that the problematics of perception and the variables related to the perception of new technologies such as AgBiotechnology can be reduced, and a more cohesive and less divisive perception of this technology can possibly be achieved."

Abstract
The paper applies Kantian theory to the agbiotechnology industry and explains how the theory states the industry has the right to its freedom and rights and can therefore engage in further research, exploration and development. The paper then relates that the role of trust is critical to the foundation of social contract theory and notes that historically, technology's acceptance has hinged on the technologists' ability to gain the trust or loyalty of the public. The paper looks at the role of a manager in the agbiotechnology industry who will need to prove that agbiotechnology's motives are valuable and it is necessary to bring better and more efficient processes to improve the social order of the world.
From the Paper
"Social contract theories suggest that right and wrong are about the agreement of a rational individual interested in promoting their self-interest to give up their wishes to secure peace (Clark, 2003). Thus, one's moral or political debts stem from a contract they devise between themselves and society. Kantian theory supports the ideal that individuals can reason universally, thus have the ability for neutrality as they view everything from a universal perspective rather than the perspective of self. However, Kant suggests that rights of law depend on freedom and not necessarily happiness, and that in nature exists more chaos than their exists peace, contradicting social contract theory to some extent (Clark, 2003)."
