Swedish consumers´ attitudes and values to genetic modification and conventional plant breeding – The case of fruit and vegetables

Abstract: This study examined public attitudes to genetic modification (GM) and conventional plant breeding and explored general differences in attitudes to these two types of breeding concepts, including the effect of individual personal characteristics such as gender and age. It also sought to identify the influence of personal values linked to attitudes to GM crops and conventional plant breeding, following Schwartz value theory.

“…We found some common influential factors across countries. Aligned with previous studies regarding socio-demographics [18,39,40], younger respondents (38 years old or under) and those with a bachelor's degree or higher educated are significantly more willing to purchase biotechnology produced fruits than their counterparts in the US, Canada, and UK. Eating more servings of fresh fruit enhances respondents' willingness to purchase fresh fruits with biotechnology in the US, the UK, and South Korea (Table 2).…”

Moreover, it is worth noting that the level of concerns toward GM foods has been declining in European countries in recent years [18,19]. Regarding demographics, South Korea has a smaller share of elder people (over 55 years old) than other countries, with about 11% of the population (Table 1).…”
