Proposed research on social perception of marker-assisted selection and its role in the forests of British Columbia

Abstract: The forest industry is a major player in the provincial economy, provides a significant contribution to government revenue, and accounts for 3% of British Columbia' s GDP. However, with the reduction of housing starts in the US in 2006, the economic crisis of 2008, a steady decline in newsprint demand, and the Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic, the provincial and federal governments have searched for ways to help transform the forest industry through innovation, improved environmental performance, and new markets.… Show more

“…Because the objectives of the ‘tools’ stream were to promote genomic tools and increase uptake, these articles largely did not survey publics directly and comprised the majority of articles coded as ‘uninformed’, but not ‘co-producer’. One exception is Nilausen et al (2014) who proposed studying acceptability by providing participants with ‘a brief educational package’ on genomic selection before interviews (p. 668).…”
