Do you support the use of genetically engineered crops and foods?

Genetically engineered crops should be used where they are proven to be safe and beneficial, with strong regulation and oversight to protect health, the environment, and biodiversity.

Yes, but only those engineered to benefit the consumer, not the provider

Yes but only cisgenic crop where the cultivator can prove that the end product could be bred using conventional methods modern plant breeding takes at least a year and upwards of +10 years, cisgenic breeding could speed this up significantly and could protect biodiversity which conventional breeding does not, there is an eu report on it.

This is a difficult question. Food production / security is key and GMOs help to secure it. However, there are always consequences of change including costs for farmers if purely left to large companies.

Yes, provided there are government regulations for how crops and foods can be modified, along with labelling of modified foods that includes how and why the specific foods in question have been modified.

Yes, but only if the food is clearly labelled as a gmo, when it's nutrient value and overall quality is at least as beneficial as its non altered counterpart, and when it has been proven that the specific alteration will cause no harm to us.

no i dont support this as GMO crops and foods have MRNa and turbo cancers that are desinged specifically for population redution

Only for cisgenic breeding or those which could have been accomplished through conventional methods.

In terms of helping people who struggle with the intake of certain foods and vitamins and stuff, yes. Both be nice to nature and don't replace everything

Yes but the process should be regulated to prevent invasive species.

Yes, but never as a complete replacement for organic, only with full labeling transparency, and no patents on seeds.

Yes, but there should be a limit on patents and a very pragmatic approach to how seeds are used.

No. Pay our farmers more so they can make a living and provide for our small country. Make horticulture a main subject in school so more people can become self sufficient.

No, we are unaware of possible dangerous side effects.

GMOs should be heavily regulated so that it can not harm the ecosystem

Yes, but only in arid land where disease and pests such as locusts decimate crops

Only cisgenic breeding

Yes but only where organic alternatives (such as meat) cannot be produced at a sustainable level. In this case labelling of these foods needs to be mandated, as well as a limit to the additives etc being included in the product.

No but we need to support our farmers more

Yes, in moderation and where crop yields are threatened by climate change, but ban patenting of seeds and require labeling

No and countries that do allow their use should label and create a body to prevent big gmo makers from suing small farmers who had seed blown into their property

If it’s not bad for the environment or health then sure why not

Yes, but require the labelling of foods that are genetically modified AND producers should not be able to patent seeds. We may need GMO with climate change. Still, non-GMO is better.

Yes, but producers should not be able to patent seeds but require the labelling of foods that are genetically modified

How might your food choices change if all genetically engineered foods were clearly labeled at the supermarket?

Do you think genetically engineered foods should be used to combat dietary deficiencies, and why or why not?

How would you feel if you found out your favorite snack contains genetically modified ingredients?

What concerns might you have about genetically modified foods, and are they outweighed by the potential benefits?

If you had to choose between a genetically engineered crop that uses less pesticides or a natural one that uses more, which would you pick and why?

Can you imagine a world where all our food is genetically modified, and what would that look like to you?

Have you ever actively chosen or avoided foods because they were labeled as GMO, and what drove your decision?

Would you support GMOs if they had the potential to solve hunger in impoverished areas?

If scientists could engineer a food to enhance its nutritional value, would you be more likely to eat it?

If you had the power to decide, would you ban or endorse the cultivation of genetically modified crops in your community?
