“…European consumers have resisted GM foods since the commercial introduction of biotech seeds in the early 1990s. A few studies have shown that European consumers' attitudes toward GM foods are negative (Bredahl et al 1998;Verdurme and Viaene 2003;Wheeler 2008;2009;Martinez-Poveda et al 2009;Teisl et al 2009). Numerous opinion polls, with the Eurobarometer surveys (Eurobarometer 2001;2004; as the most widely noted, have shown that the consumers do not like the idea of GM organisms in their food.…”

While there has been a number of consumers' studies looking at factors that influence individuals' attitudes and behavior toward GM foods, few studies have considered agricultural professionals' intentions in this regard. This study illuminates agricultural professionals' insights toward GM foods in Southwest Iran. A random sample of 262 respondents was studied. The results indicated that the majority of the respondents had little knowledge about GM foods. They perceived few benefits or risks of GM foods.Their perceived benefits and trust in individuals and institutions had positive impacts on the behavioral intentions of the agricultural professionals. The results also revealed that the low knowledge level of the respondents had a negative impact on the behavioral intentions toward GM foods. This state of affairs is problematic, either GM foods have serious problems or the knowledge conveyed to the Iranian agricultural experts is inappropriate. We recommend a well defined communication strategy to provide 2 information in such a way that allows individuals to feel adequately informed about GM foods. Furthermore, the development of trust and knowledge regarding GM foods can be greater when risk analysis frameworks are transparent, risk assessment methodologies are objective, all stakeholders are engaged in the risk management process, and risk communication focuses on consumers.

“…Thompson & Knight (2006) identified that most participants of their interview had not been frequently advised on the food irradiation process. According to Cardello et al (2007), Teisl et al (2009) and Mehmetoglu (2007), the majority of consumers naturally present negative attitudes towards irradiated food. Consumer behavior towards irradiated food certainly depends on the levels of awareness and knowledge on the benefits or risks associated to the technology.…”

“…Hasil sorotan susastera mendapati pengetahuan dan maklumat tidak signifikan kepada pembentukan sikap pengguna terhadap GMF (Chen & Li 2007;Miles et al 2005;Verdurme, Gellynck & Viaene 2002) tetapi terdapat kajian yang merekodkan dapatan berbeza (Mather et al 2012;Teisl, Fein & Levy 2009). Rodríguez-entrena dan Salazar-ordóñez (2013) turut menekankan konstruk pengetahuan adalah paling tidak konsisten dalam mengukur sikap pengguna terhadap GMF.…”
