Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there have been increasing concerns about the potential health risks of genetically modified foods. Consumer perceptions vary between countries, but are probably most pronounced in Europe and least in North America. These have had a profound and controversial effect on the development of markets for GM products.This book presents a compilation of studies of consumer acceptance of GM foods. These studies utilized different methods and evidence including: price and expenditure data; experimental methods; "willingness to pay"; consumer attitudes; and economic consequences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regardless of the arguments from scientists supporting genetically modified foods, there is still a negative consumer attitude toward GM foods in many countries, including Brazil, as well as concerns about the risks related to health and the environment. As this is a recent subject, there is little empirical and scientific research on the effects of genetic modification and its possible benefits on consumer perceptions. In this study, a laboratory experiment with Brazilian consumers is presented in which two factors are manipulated: genetic modification (present x absent) and benefits to the product (environment, low price and increased shelf life). Results indicated that: (i) the presence of the genetic modification in the product led to negative evaluations of the corporate image and the behavioral intentions toward such product; (ii) the benefits tested were not enough to attenuate the negative perception; (iii) consumers with high involvement with GM food presented more favorable behavioral intentions toward the product (i.e., a significant positive correlation was found); and (iv) demographic variables, such as gender and age, also influenced the attitudes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is an attempt to quantify consumers' perceptions in support of Genetically Modified (GM) products in the US. Specifically, the study is intended to analyze and compare the effects of consumers' socioeconomic characteristics and their expressed value judgments on their intensity of support toward usefulness of GM foods. In model specification, the binary dependent variable is defined as one if the respondent strongly agrees and somewhat agrees to the usefulness of GM foods, otherwise zero. This study analyzes consumers' likelihood of who would strongly agree and somewhat agree to the usefulness of GM foods within the random utility discrete choice framework. According to this study, public support toward biotechnology is significant and they should accept the usefulness of biotechnology for a better future.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the psychological underpinning of the consumer aversion to genetically modified foods. Although a substantial body of scientific evidence supports the notion that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are safe to consume, many consumers continue to reject these products on principle. Drawing on research that distinguishes how people reason about natural and manmade objects, I find that consumers are more accepting of GMOs when marketing cues suggest they are manmade. Evidence from these studies suggests that the moral opposition towards genetically modified foods impedes the perception of their benefits. Critically, this moral opposition is reduced when the product is positioned as being manmade. Specifically, if consumers view the GMO as manmade and if they understand why it was created, moral opposition towards the product diminishes, and the GMOs perceived benefits increase, which subsequently increases purchase intentions for the product. As a whole, this work offers novel theoretical insights into consumers negative response to GM foods. Although prior research suggests that consumers dislike GMOs because these products are unnatural, the present work demonstrates that preference for a GMO is actually contingent upon the belief that the object ought to be natural. When cues suggest that the product is manmade to begin with, consumers are more accepting of genetically modified foods. This research also represents the first evidence that moral opposition impedes the perception of a GM foods benefits. Finally, this work lends managerial implications in light of the recent GMO food labelling debate.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dichotomy between perceptions of the acceptability of risk associated with genetically modified (GM) foods and willingness to consume GM foods is investigated. Results indicate that some consumers are willing to consume GM foods even though they may perceive such foods as somewhat unsafe, with determinants such as self-perceived knowledge about the availability of GM foods and altruistic motives having positive and significant impacts on their consumption decision. Efforts towards decreasing perceptions of risk and ultimately increasing acceptance of, and demand for, GM foods should address issues related to their altruistic characteristics and outrage.

Download or read book Effects of GM Disclosure Statements on Consumer Perceptions of Selected Food Products in Survey and Sensory Panel Settings written by Ellyn Margaret Newcomb and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard (PL 114-216) will require nearly all foods sold in the U.S. to bear a statement disclosing whether they contain genetically modified (GM) material. Past studies suggest the presence of such a statement could have profound effects on consumers; however, research comparing consumer response towards different GM-disclosure statements is scarce. PL 114-216 states that GM foods shall not be considered more or less safe than their non-bioengineered counterparts, nevertheless it would benefit regulators and food manufacturers to be aware of the possible effects such disclosures might have on consumers. In a nationwide survey, multiple disclosure statements with varying degrees of public familiarity were compared to evaluate consumer perceptions and attitudes associated with each statement. Average consumer knowledge level of GM processes was also measured. The statements were then paired with actual food items to determine whether specific product categories influenced consumer responses. A select few of these statements and foods were included in a taste panel, allowing researches to analyze if disclosure statements affected a consumer’s sensorial experience. Results suggested that consumers were most favorable towards statements indicating the absence of GM-material, however they also responded less negatively towards new disclosure statements that do not have negative connotations. Additionally, consumers may react differently depending on the food accompanying a particular disclosure, although the taste panel data found no evidence that statements affected actual eating experience. Importantly, data from both surveys and taste panel suggested a disclosure statement may affect consumer willingness to buy a product.

This book was released on 2017-01-28 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetically engineered (GE) crops were first introduced commercially in the 1990s. After two decades of production, some groups and individuals remain critical of the technology based on their concerns about possible adverse effects on human health, the environment, and ethical considerations. At the same time, others are concerned that the technology is not reaching its potential to improve human health and the environment because of stringent regulations and reduced public funding to develop products offering more benefits to society. While the debate about these and other questions related to the genetic engineering techniques of the first 20 years goes on, emerging genetic-engineering technologies are adding new complexities to the conversation. Genetically Engineered Crops builds on previous related Academies reports published between 1987 and 2010 by undertaking a retrospective examination of the purported positive and adverse effects of GE crops and to anticipate what emerging genetic-engineering technologies hold for the future. This report indicates where there are uncertainties about the economic, agronomic, health, safety, or other impacts of GE crops and food, and makes recommendations to fill gaps in safety assessments, increase regulatory clarity, and improve innovations in and access to GE technology.

Existing studies are mostly inconsistent and sometimes confusing. Although China produced and consumed the biggest amount of GM crops and other derived products, there were only limited studies about Chinese public acceptance for GM foods. This review was aimed to explore the public acceptance for GM food in China and reasons for acceptance or against for GM food. Methods: Literature were retrieved from Google Scholar, Pubmed and CNKI using key words of "genetically modified food" ( OR "GM food" OR "GMO Food" OR "GM foods") combined with "acceptance" (OR "attitude" OR "willingness to buy" ). Consumers' knowledge and understanding about GM food, attitudes and acceptance for GM food as well as factors or reasons associated with their attitudes or acceptance were synthesized. Result: Of 1000 literature retrieved from the specified data sources, 20 were eligible to be included in this study. Generally, knowledge and understanding of GM food was limited among Chinese consumers. However, acceptance for GM food were generally positive among the Chinese consumers, around 60%-80% according to the studies included in this review. Factors associated with acceptance for GM food included price of GM food, respondents' demographics, government attitudes and media coverage. Conclusion: The Chinese government should better communicate the risk and benefits associated GM food to improve acceptance of GM food. Communication should target subgroups of consumers to improve their knowledge and perceived benefits of GM food. Labeling of GM food should also be implemented in China to help the consumers to make a better choice. Subjects: Genetically modified foods - China

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Research Council's Roundtable on Public Interfaces of the Life Sciences held a 2-day workshop on January 15-16, 2015, in Washington, DC to explore the public interfaces between scientists and citizens in the context of genetically engineered (GE) organisms. The workshop presentations and discussions dealt with perspectives on scientific engagement in a world where science is interpreted through a variety of lenses, including cultural values and political dispositions, and with strategies based on evidence in social science to improve public conversation about controversial topics in science. The workshop focused on public perceptions and debates about genetically engineered plants and animals, commonly known as genetically modified organisms (GMOs), because the development and application of GMOs are heavily debated among some stakeholders, including scientists. For some applications of GMOs, the societal debate is so contentious that it can be difficult for members of the public, including policy-makers, to make decisions. Thus, although the workshop focused on issues related to public interfaces with the life science that apply to many science policy debates, the discussions are particularly relevant for anyone involved with the GMO debate. Public Engagement on Genetically Modified Organisms: When Science and Citizens Connect summarizes the presentations and discussion of the workshop.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both organic production and the use of biotechnology have increased dramatically over the past decade. This study contributes to existing work on consumer acceptance of these practices and the resulting products through the use of twin survey instruments. Respondents indicated their level of agreement with statements about genetically modified (GM) or organic processes and products in the construct areas of health, environment, ethics, and risk. Organic food was perceived as healthier and safer. Organic practices were perceived to be more environmentally sound. Respondents expressed some level of concern over the unknown effects genetic modification could have on the environment and society as a whole. However, participants in general felt the technology could be used effectively and valued some of the associated benefits.
