Results

Here you can see the results of the survey about genetic engineering in general and especially in food.

1200 people took part in this survey and the results showed us, that in Germany, there is still a sceptical and controversial opinion about genetic engineering. Most people accept genetic engineering in medical an pharmaceutical issues, but in food genetic engineering is not tolerated. Yet, unfortunalety, many people don't have a well-founded background about genetic engineering and consequently they are sceptical about it. That's why an important part of our project was to inform people about the opportunities of genetic engineering.
