The development of agricultural
biotechnology has generated much discussion among consumers about the
relative risks and benefits of this technology, and the measures necessary to
ensure public safety. The level
of consumer acceptance of biotechnology varies between nations, with the
United States, for instance, exhibiting much greater acceptance than the
United Kingdom. The difference
may be attributable to a number of factors, such as public trust in
government and confidence in regulatory bodies. Much current research is tracking consumers' perception of
biotechnology and exploring the factors that influence their attitudes. The following links provide further
