The article discusses the possibilities for nanotechnology regulation applied to food and biofuels. In this sense, we seek to study the risks and hazards of this junction, as well as some alternative regulatory taking as reference formulas, not derived from the State and the Legislature, but coming from international agencies, the companies involved and programs voluntary compliance with the rules and principles already in place, but not directly related to nanotechnology. Thus, the study address law possibilities to join the perspectives opened by the Nanotechnology Revolution, encouraging the fulfillment of standards which have mainly focused on the health and safety of human and environmental preservation.
