متن کاملPublic Acceptance of Plant Biotechnology and GM Crops
A wide gap exists between the rapid acceptance of genetically modified (GM) crops for cultivation by farmers in many countries and in the global markets for food and feed, and the often-limited acceptance by consumers. This review contrasts the advances of practical applications of agricultural biotechnology with the divergent paths-also affecting the development of virus resistant transgenic c...
متن کاملPublic Perception of Genetic Engineering
This paper presents the results of a survey conducted on public perception of genetic engineering in Jamaica. Our findings suggest that the safety of genetically modified foods is a major concern for consumers and that the perception of the prospects for genetic engineering to improve the quality of life represents a major factor in a consumer’s decision to purchase GM foods. Introduction Withi...
متن کاملThe evolution of modern agriculture and its future with biotechnology.
