Consumer Benefits and Acceptance of Genetically Modified Food
• Widespread consumer resistance towards genetically modified (GM), particularly as expressed in the news media, has led to slow adoption of this technology outside of North America. • Much of the resistance appears to stem from public perceptions that GM crops benefit large multinational corporations, food producers, and typically have no apparent consumer benefits. • In order to test whether ...
متن کاملConsumer acceptance, valuation of and attitudes towards genetically modified food: Review and implications for food policy
An increasing set of evidence has been reported on how consumers could potentially react to the introduction of genetically modified food. Studies typically contain some empirical evidence and some theoretical explanations of the data, however, to date limited effort has been posed on systematically reviewing the existing evidence and its implications for policy. This paper contributes to the l...
متن کاملRisk perceptions, risk attitudes and the formation of consumer acceptance of Genetically Modified (GM) food
The influence of risk perception and risk attitudes in the process of accepting genetically modified (GM) food is often ignored, and particularly whether both constructs (latent variables) have a combined effect in explaining consumer acceptance. Similarly, the inclusion of organic product standards juxtaposed to GM food is unknown. This paper attempts to shed some light on this question by exa...
متن کاملNutritional Composition of Genetically Modified Peanut Varieties
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), an economically important crop throughout the world, is susceptible to many types of fungal pathogens. Genetic engineering offers great potential for developing peanut cultivars resistant to a broad spectrum of pathogens that pose a recurring threat to peanut health. The main objective of this research project was to assess the “substantial equivalence” and nutriti...
متن کاملInfluence of Source Credibility on Consumer Acceptance of Genetically Modified Foods in China
This paper examines the reasoning mechanism behind the consumer acceptance of genetically modified foods (GMFs) in China, and investigates influence of source credibility on consumer acceptance of GMFs. Based on the original Persuasion Model—which was developed by Carl Hovland, an American psychologist and pioneer in the study of communication and its effect on attitudes and beliefs—we conducte...
