发达国家与发展中国家的转基因认知比较研究

Comparative research of the public cognition to Genetic Modified Organism(GMO)between developed and developing countries

转基因技术是解决新世纪农业与环境等诸多问题的新技术,但也引起了公众对转基因生物安全的关心和担心。本研究引述比较了美国欧盟等发达国家公众对转基因生物安全的认知状况,发现美国公众对生物技术与转基因的了解程度不一,公众对转基因食品消费与安全的认知也有差异。对比转基因产品在发达国家美国、英国、日本以及发展中国家哥伦比亚和我国公众的认知与影响,表明发达国家的公众愿意购买转基因食品的意愿低于那些缺乏高质量食品消费的发展中国家公众的比例。本研究分析总结了对政府的信任度、对科学的态度和媒体宣传,以及不同经济发展水平给公众判定转基因产品利益与风险认知的影响和可能的相关因素。

Transgenic biotechnology is one of the frontiers for resolving numerous agricultural and environmental dilemmas happened in a new century,but it invokes several biosafety problems cared and worried by the public.Smart cognition and communication with the public take an important role in facilitating development of transgenic biotechnology so as to allow the public to know the reasons and principle of transgenic biotechnology,and more,to make great contribution to social and economic development in China.This paper cited and commented the transgenic biotechnology biosafety cognition of the American public and compared the cognition and its impacting factors to transgenic products between developed countries,such as the US,UK,Japan and developing countries including Columbia and China.We also analyzed the different impact factors of the public cognition to transgenic products and the varied elements in defining benefit and risk of transgenic products among the developed and developing countries. Eventually,we collected those possible candidate factors leading to the above mentioned phenomena and summarized the interaction between the public cognition to transgenic products and tagging in transgenic product among the developed and developing countries.
